I think goblin traders might do that.  Look at their ethics.

[alway]

I think most of the time I am to annoyed at my lazy trader (seriously, hauling stuff to bins when you are requested at the depot?) to give enough hatin' to the elves...

[major_sephiroth]

Significant amounts of cloth. Then some more cloth. Then some more. Current standing record: 26 bins of cloth.  My guys had some cloth rotting issues though so it was semi-welcome.

Also they once brought me A fire imp. In a cage. My fortress suffered burning death.  From it and an orc siege.
A Cage has been destroyed!
Bob McDwarf cancels live: On fire.

Serves me right for trying to live without mining.

[chaturga]

Cloth x Insert number suitable for elven prank here and a caged leechman.

I got so excited about raising an army of leechmen, till i released him from the cage and he drowned without water. Ever since i have vowed a slow maiming to any elf i see in adventure mode.

[sweitx]

I may have found a way to reduce the amount of cloth they bring.
Have a large pile of cloth yourself.
They still brings a crapload of junk items (toys, instruments, cloth, wooden weapons, wooden shield).
However, they do bring a large number of wood, some alcohol...
And brought me, so far...
A pair of giant eagle.
A pair of grizzly bear.
A pair of cougar.
A pair of dire wolf.
A pair of black bear (accidentally butchered them).

[Lord_Shadow]

Three tigers, Two elephants, one GCS. Now tamed they are my fortress defense force (military in training). Oh and cloth I'm to lazy to make my own i can just give them a 2 stacks of lavish prepared meals and get 5 bins of cloth

[chaturga]

A pair of black bear (accidentally butchered them).

I want to meet the dwarf who "accidently" managed to butcher a black bear, he must be accident prone :/

[Strangething]

Elves bring the things you bought on their last visit. So if you avoid the temptation to load up on wood and cloth, and just buy all the animals, they'll keep bringing more.

[Neruz]

Seven Grizzly Bears in wooden cages.

And absolutely nothing else.

[Wild Goose]

I get loads of cloth, wood, leather, and a few berries, here and there.
So far, the elves don't seem too bad.  No demands, little conversation; they show up, trade their goods for our knicknacks/goblin loot, and leave.  Reliable repeat customers.

[Teferi]

just got a oaken spear with an image of Goblins and Elves in Saguaro. The goblins are massacring the Elves.

lulz selling me a spear that shows you get butchered is funny

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

I've had some pretty awesome creatures from the elves, including a pair of size 16 sea serpents in my succession game, A pair of cougars in a different succession game, elephants, bonobos and a couple of other various animals.

[Demetrious]

The elves always bring me cloth, and I don't mind this a bit because otherwise I'd have to set up the clothing industry.

As is, the "clothing industry" consists solely of a single clothiers shop and an impressive quantity of every clothing item imaginable being designated through the managers screen.

[Sasasing]

Skulls and bones...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If i'm too lazy to pour magma on them

[Greiger]

A>Mountains of cloth(when my fortress' primary export is cloth).

B>Modded carnivore fortress is starving to death.  They come to save the day with assorted berries.

C>Tree felling caps of hundreds in a rocky wasteland.

D>An Orc seige of 80 wyvernriders.

E>A partridge in a pear tree wood cage.(not really)

I would kill them all if I wouldn't have to dump all the worthless crap afterward.
