The instruction manual mentioned briefly something about manufactores changing the demand for certain products, and I have coraled builging good manfactories (the ones that help infrastructure) that the trade value of cotten went up. Is this correct, and are there other correlations in markets out there?
 
Yep, that's right. There are quite a few other correlations. An example:

Build governors, and the demand for vine and hides will increase. Ah, the sweet g'vnor life :D

The demand for all prodcuts will increase during the game. To see what increases the demand for a specific, you have to click on the product and hold the cursor over the demand percentage. Some products gain in value quite early in the game, while others only increase later in the game.
 
The practical use is that provinces with high cost goods are more desireable than provinces with lower cost goods. Provinces that produce high value goods produce more ducats than lesser provinces with the same or even higher base value. With some goods, this can make a big difference. Supply and demand are one of main factors in determining the value.

However, goods also have a base value so Chinaware and Spices are going to be more valuable than Wine and Grain given the same supply and demand. It is also important to realize that the cash cow product your economy relies on could go down in value and reduce your cash flow.
