Reference information:
The question should really be "ordini in derrate". If I understand it correctly, it's like a bill of exchange, but payable in commodities rather than cash. I don't know if there's a name for this in English.

You could just say something like "a flourishing commodities market" to save having to explain what the phrase means.
