Where there's many a skill in trading (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mart

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

'where' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'there's many a skill in trading' is the wordplay.
'there's' says to put letters next to each other.
'many' becomes 'M' (Roman numeral for a thousand).
'a skill in trading' becomes 'art' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'm' next to 'art' is 'MART'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mart that I've seen before include "US shop; market" , "Take tram to market" , "Place" , "Trading centre" .)
