Guketlova The article examines the main aspects related to the development of trade relations between Russia and the Circassians in the fi rst third of the XIX century. An attempt to determine the nature and the vector of development, mechanisms and driving forces. It is established that the existing system of strict administration of trade relations, as well as the nature of the exchange-commercial operations negatively affect the dynamics of growth of the market. It is noted that under the circumstances, the Circassians have not seen suffi cient incentives in expanding trade ties with the Black Sea coast and colonization population of New Russia. Smuggling of goods from Turkey, the ban on the export of Russian gold and silver coins, paper money reduced the attractiveness of Russian market for the Highlanders. The conclusion to the midthirties of XIX century exchange trade in the region is in decline.
