Or you can invest some lumber in Markets which pay off for the rest of the game.

Just bought the game yesterday and I have a related question . .

If I have only one market among my 5 cities and was pumping out caravans from it , could those caravans link all my cities?? . . . What I am asking is whether a carvan can be produced at City "A" that will create a trade route between cities B and C, B and D , etc.

multiple markets is useful because each one gives you wealth over time... more cities = more wealth accumulation... +10 doesn't seem like much, but if you have 4 or 5 cities, +40 or +50 is significant. Especially when you are doing other things, the wealth just keeps going up It's definitely worth the 100-150 timber you spend.

Flubber, you NEED only 1 market for your caravans.

Thanks . . . I appreciate that additional markets make sense for the reasons given earlier in this thread.

so 5 cities will mean 4+3+2+1=10 trade routes.

Except that the number of caravans you can have is also limited by your commerce research, otherwise in the late game people would have more caravans on the map than military units.

In an case if you have clicked on the 3 arrows at the top left of your screen you can always see how many caravans you have and how many you are allowed.

I'm avoiding multiple Markets right now as Egyptians. I need the real estate for 2 Wonders.

real estate? did you know your city building possibilities increase if you have larger cities? and you get larger cities by building more types of buildings. Hence... more room for wonders.
