The apparent profits of the wealthy retailer, therefore, are there more nearly upon a level with those of the wholesale merchant.

因此，富有的零售商的表观利润与批发商的表观利润更接近一个水平。

Thus, upon equal, or nearly equal profits, every wholesale merchant naturally prefers the home trade to the foreign trade of consumption, and the foreign trade of consumption to the carrying trade.

因此，在利润相等或几乎相等的情况下，每个批发商自然更喜欢国内贸易而不是消费的国外贸易，而消费的国外贸易而不是转运贸易。

The capital of a wholesale merchant, on the contrary, seems to have no fixed or necessary residence anywhere, but may wander about from place to place, according as it can either buy cheap or sell dear.

相反，批发商的资本似乎在任何地方都没有固定或必要的住所，而是可以到处游荡，因为它可以低价买入或高价卖出。
