Résumé anglais This paper tries to construe as fully as possible the context in which the movements of market prices, either monopoly or competition ones, may get their full meaning in the Wealth of Nations. First, it replaces these movements within the framework of Smith's reproduction and accumulation model. Second, it identifies what the specific role played by rents is, as opposed to wages and profits. The outcome is that movements of market prices are much more complex than they are generally conceived. Even the competition market prices cannot be simply viewed as converging towards or diverging from some natural positions, which are entirely determined by the conditions of production. The movements of both types of market prices should rather look like the gravitations of planets towards a sun, which is itself shifting.
