Necessary commodity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staple

(Other definitions for staple that I've seen before include "Chief - paper fastener" , "Basic commodity for which demand is constant" , "Paper pin - basic" , "Fasten with short U-shaped bits of wire" , "Principle - fixer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
