 Leather Goods comprise items made from the treated skin, without fur, of Live Animals: footwear; gloves; clingy catsuits and pants; durable workers' and soldiers' clothing; straps and belts; vehicle upholstery; bags of all shapes, uses, styles, and sizes; the list goes on... perennially popular commodities any trader with a modicum of sense will buy without hesitation from a pastorally-based system. Prices are stable and profits can be high.
-=== 9. Weapons ===
+=== 9. Plastics ===
 The 'Weapons' category should need no preamble. Firearms, lasers, mines, and missiles cover it generally, though rarer deliverers of ground and space death can be had for a Lave penny in some systems. A very stable commodity, always in demand. Many veteran traders consider a hold half-full with Weapons cases a must.
-=== 10. Machines-Vehicles ===
+=== 11. Machines-Vehicles ===
 A reliable commodity to buy, Machines, product largely of industrialized societies, comprise mechanical devices for all sectors: Farm machinery, textile-milling machinery, production-line machinery; ground vehicles of every size, shape and colour; skimmers; shuttles; marine craft; aeroplanes. Deep-space vehicles are of course far too massive for even a medium-class trader to carry unless s/he tows them, which a few have been known to do; but to hold them is really the province of heavy-traders owning collossal Anacondas and Boas.
-=== 11. Medicines ===
+=== 12. Medicines ===
 A highly unstable commodity, liable to fluctuate wildly in price on the fickle winds of disease and plague, Medicines - a product of the advanced pharmaceutical industries - will nevertheless be in extreme demand almost everywhere. Some merchanters - particularly Moray Starboat and Medical Boat captains - specialize in them.
-=== 12. Herbal Remedies ===
+=== 13. Herbal Remedies ===
 A good that can vary considerably in price because its outlets are not confined to a single economy, Herbal Remedies might sometimes be what are legally considered 'narcotics', but more often comprise treated or fermented plant-matter from the multitude of systems that export it, quite frequently linked to religious beliefs, but still very popular among industrial sophisticates, who carry them from soirée to soirée extolling their benefits and virtues. Fairly stable in price and worth the experienced trader's consideration.
-=== 13. Metals & Alloys ===
+=== 14. Metals & Alloys ===
 Metals & Alloys, as a product, straddles the poles of agricultural and industrial societies, and consequently their worth is often hard for the average trader to pin down. In demand everywhere - in both industrial and agricultural systems - Metals & Alloys should never be entirely ignored as a barterable item. A useful filler for any hold.
-=== 14. Wines & Spirits ===
+=== 15. Wines & Spirits ===
 What system would be without its favourite tipple? Some merchantmen have seen queues of buyers forming onstation before their ship even clamps umbilicals and opens its seals. One of the most reliable goods in any galaxy to carry from an agricultural to an industrial planet, and ideal mass-wise for the light-class or neophyte trader.
-=== 15. Fabrics & Clothing ===
+=== 16. Fabrics & Clothing ===
 Fabrics & Clothing covers (pun intended) a megaverse of styles, hues, weaves, textures, and weights. A staple, like food, clothing requires no recommendation: as a good, it recommends itself - especially to the light-class or neophyte merchanter. And, like food, extremely stable in price, and a guaranteed profit.
-=== 16. Food & Grain ===
+=== 17. Food & Grain ===
 The Galaxies must eat. They must also drink fresh spring-water (and milk, which the category includes). This is food for sentients and fodder for animals - the commodity everyone begins, ends, lives with, and dies without, and every trader has carried it at one time or another, for its price stability, abundant availability, and guaranteed gain.
-=== 17. Minerals ===
+=== 18. Minerals ===
 The fruit of mining, on any planet in any system at any technological level, this second-cheapest of goods might be worth considering when starting out on a trading career. But beware the unpredictability in price!
-=== 18. Radioactives ===
+=== 19. Radioactives ===
 A waste industrial product, Radioactives, legally deemed *most hazardous* is for the intrepid (or desperate) trader only. Those starting out have, however, seen success carrying this commodity on their first runs.
