deal in
Traffic in goods
To deal in something is to trade or do business in it: a gallery that deals in contemporary art, a broker who deals in commodities.
The phrase extends beyond commerce to regular involvement with abstractions: a politician who deals in compromise, a writer who deals in ambiguity.
To deal in something is to make it your stock-in-trade.
