What does the level of sell/buy (for example '>10') indicate?
When I increase the buying level of a kind of good, the price of that kind increases too. Can anyone tell me why?

One more question: the "market" column shows the supply of that kind of good in the market, doesn't it?

Supply and Demand, my friend, Supply and Demand.

It's the global market in aggregate you're looking at, so if you want to buy, and do buy, stockpiles of goods, then you drive the price up! Conversely, if you save up 1000 Steamers, and then put them all up on the market, then the market is saturated with steamers (Ralph, get that paddle-wheel out of the driveway!) and the price plummets.

the > and < are pretty well known as the Greater than or Less than symbols, and so

Buying a number buys you up to that number...and selling a number sells anything over that number...
