Deals in new treads (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trades

'deals in' is the definition.
('trade' can be a synonym of 'deal in')

'new treads' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'treads' with letters rearranged gives 'TRADES'.

(Other definitions for trades that I've seen before include "Stared (anag)" , "Swaps - winds" , "Occupations" , "Exchanges, buys or sells" , "will give some folk a living" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
