So as title says. Talking with the modifiers they get during the game. Is it grain for cheapest and cocoa for most expensive? Or is it it gems? I*´m still in 1550 in my games.
Goods - which one is the least valuable and which one is the most?

Coal is always the most valuable trade good. The least valuable depends on which of the Price Change events fired. Not all of them are guaranteed. Grain is almost guaranteed to go down to the price of 2 (it goes even lower during the little ice age and the Eruption of Huaynaputina) and fish can also go down to 2 if the protestant reformation is not stopped. Livestock is definitely not the least valuable after the events. It is almost guaranteed to reach a price of 3.4 at the end of the game.
You can find out more about this in the trade good list on the wiki. It also contains a column for the final price after all events which change the price permanently.

Note that the reason coal is so highly valued is not its base price, but its special manufactory, which gives you a global +5% goods produced (i.e., an increase in production income and trade value available in every province you own) for each one in your nation. Note also that coal only becomes available late game, by which point you are generally drowning in money anyway.

If we look at value in addition to the raw ducats, Grain and Fish double effect of the Soldier's Households to +1500 manpower, or +3000 with Training Fields in the same province. Going by that and by the reddit post, Wool and Naval Supplies are the worst trade goods (outside of a Pegu achievement run).
On the other side of the spectrum, the doubled State House effect should make a Paper province more valuable to the player than Cocoa and Silk. There's also the problem the Cocoa can only be found in the new world (correct me if I'm wrong), so unless you have an American capital, you probably won't exploit it for its full value.

Have to disagree the trading bonus is worthless. Cav is worthless unless you are a horde or Poland.

Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but I think the OP was just asking about the price of the goods after they changed via events. So when I said that livestock is not the least valuable I was purely talking about the price and not about the trading in bonus or the province modifier. I agree that the trading in bonus for livestock is worthless and the province modifier is almost worthless
