Hints would be good rather than answers at this stage please:
10a In pleasant market, I trade coins for ivories (10 letters 2 words)
19d Outlet indexes IT accessories (10 letters 2 words)
4d Precautionary parade over beside brook (7 hyphened)

Hi Gull.

Tricky these...

I think that the answer to 10a consists of two 5-letter words and refers to a mythical character that visits at night.

Hi again.

I do have an idea for 19d, likely wrong, but here they are anyway ...

   Two words (5,5) ...
   For 'IT', think Tara Parker-Tomlinson, Tamara Beckwith etc ...
   Whole answer = something to help them navigate while shopping.

To repeat .. I may be barking up entirely the wrong tree with this; if so, apologies for timewasting.

Jim, I can see the logic of 'I trade coins for ivories', but I can't for the life of me see how 'In pleasant market' works!

Inevitably, having just written that, now I can see a way -- one word inside another, but it looks extremely dodgy as a clue!

quite logical, really - a ?????? grin is a pleasant smile - isn't it?

Don't know if you've seen 19d answered by Mamya on another thread, gull, but think about what you might need to get out of jail...
