Flat Rate Cargo in Book 7 Trade System
Classic Traveller Book 7: Merchant Prince describes on pages 34 through 42 a trade system focused on speculative cargoes. There are, however, a few references to carrying, rather than purchasing and reselling, cargo at a flat rate of 1,000 Cr per ton. Specifically the "Ship Revenue" and "Cargo" tables on page 39 appear to relate to this. I am unable to find any text related to the "Cargo" table, specifically, text describing what constitutes "major," "minor," and "incidental" cargoes.
What do these cargo categories represent, and if tonnage as one might infer, what tonnages do they equate to?
I'm comfortable inventing these for my game, but here I'm asking what has been written by the designers on this that I'm unable to find.

Basically, there are number of cargoes of the three different types available on any given world is proportional to the population digit of the planetary profile, with modifiers for the population of the destination and tech level difference between origin and destination.
