TRADE OF MAKHNIVKA IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE XIX CENTURY

Abstract. The relevance of the study of the history of trade in Makhnivka city in the first half of the 19th century is caused by the need to identify trends in city’s development in the era of transition from traditional to industrial society. The purpose of the article is to identify the place of trade in the social progress of the provincial city. The methodological basis for achieving the stated purpose has been the principles of historicism, scientificity, objectivity, methods of analysis of historical sources, comparative-historical method, functional method. Materials from the funds of the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in in Kyiv, the State Archives of Kyiv Region have been the source base of the study. As a result of the study of historical sources, it has been revealed that city-forming, entrepreneurial, construction initiatives of Count P. Potosky, which took place at the end of the 18th century, kept Makhnivka an industrial center until the early 1840s. It has been determined that the transfer of Makhnivka to the management by Count’s creditors led to the parcelling of the city’s industrial complex. The situation for the sale of industrial goods improved due to the intervention of the state which sometimes ordered, for example, to provide Guards Uhlans of His Highness the Crown Prince Konstantin Pavlovich regiment with stuff and clothes before the campaign against Napoleon in 1805. Trade remained a professional activity of merchants, although conducted by burghers, nobles, free people, peasants, domestics. The suppliers of the whole range of food products were the peasants of the surrounding villages, the intermediary functions were taken over by merchants and some burghers. Makhnivka became one of the cities where a new stratum of the population, for which trade became a profession, appeared – peasants who trade. The profitability of intermediation transactions decreased due to the naturalness of the city economy in the field of hospitality. For decades, city officials and burghers had appealed to the central government to pay for troop posts. The number of merchants throughout the city grew, outpacing the growth rate of the urban population.
