I believe the answer is:

deal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trade' is the definition.
(I know that deal is a kind of the trade)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for deal that I've seen before include "Sawn wood" , "Bargain, contract" , "Lead out of the pine wood" , "Loss of life" , "Distribute (cards); pine or fir timber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
