Many, many cloth bins, as stated above.

Also, Giant Badgers, Tigers, Leopards, Lions, Desert Scorpions and lotsa wooden armour/weapons. I find it quite amusing when anything in general steps on a weapon trap loaded with 10 stacks of *oaken arrows*, passes out unconscious, and turns into a massive pin cushion.

Oh yeah, the arrows! How could I forget about those. I get them for my bowdwarves.

Elves in 0.31.xx will never bring "only cloth" since in order to do so they'd have to bring enough bins to fully overload all of their pack animals (which, given their abnormally high trade capacity, would probably number in the hundreds). The only reason I've observed Elves bringing tons of cloth is because they figured you needed it, exactly the same as their logic for bringing wood logs - start a cloth industry and you may find the Elves no longer bringing as much cloth to trade.

This... explains why I've been getting jack all aside from animals lately.

Predominantly cloth and timber, as well as a fair amount of food, booze and seeds. They've yet to bring me any really awesome guard animals in the current fort, but I've modded them to use some metals so I get the occasional bronze rapier or spear.
Oh, and the odd bag of gunpowder as well.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

Black Powder Firearms - Superior firepower, realistic manufacturing and rocket launchers!

Scowls, mostly. Apparently I screwed up while modding and items made of gems trigger their "You killed a tree! I'm disgusted!" diplomacy, even though my dorf is showing them a broadsword made of an especially shiny rock.

YOU'RE BACK! *hugs*
Indeed I am. Unfortunately I need to stop derailing every other thread with my iconic shouts  :(

A notice to everyone when I am muted:
I'm still watching. I still read your insults and usurping attempts. I'm watching you all.

I don't usually pay any attention to what the elves bring as I slaughter any and all caravans that arn't dwarven. Helps train the military.

I'd like to do this, but it feels like an exploit since their parent civilizations do not retaliate. Free items, free kills and training, almost zero risk.

I was wondering, could you cage an entire elf caravan, then sell it to the next elf caravan which comes along?

As long as the cages aren't made of wood! That's where they draw the line
