I am playing Dwarf Fortress Adventure mode, I've run out of food so I need to trade at a town. When I open a trader's shop menu I can't see any price indication like in fortress mode, only item weight (Possibly a skill I need to put ranks in?) .
I am trying to trade water from the town well, but I can't figure out how much water to trade for yams and the town has no currency afaik.
Is there any way of telling how much an item is worth or is there a chart/reference I can use?

Even if you can't see the real value of the items while trading you can, through trial and error, figure out their approximate value. Unlike trading in DF Fortress mode, in DF adventure mode the traders don't get mad at you if you offer too little; they will just refuse that trade. This means that you can offer a too small amount for their items and when they refuse that trade just repeat with a larger trade offer until your trade is enough that they are willing to take it. This info is per the DF Wiki.
