You won't be able to find them just looking through the game folder or anything, because they're compressed inside the game's various *.cab files.
To access them, you'll need to grab the "X Tools" to unpack and extract them. You can get this via Steam; Go to the "Tools" section of your Steam Library, and look for "X Tools" and install it (it will be alongside other tools like dedicated server installers and such for other games, or other games' modding tools, if available.)

Once it's downloaded, "Play" the X Tools, and select the "Catalog Tool." After that, "Import Catalogs" and navigate to your game install folder, then load 08.cab and it will populate with all the files inside it. Look for aiscripts/trade.find.commander.xml and the 'free' one too if you want to take a look at it, then hit Extract, and you can load up the XML file in any text editor, though I'd recommend something like Notepad++ or SublimeText; anything that can colorize code to make it easier to read. XML is, unfortunately, not the most human-readable language.

I looked through the files briefly a couple days ago when I was looking into something unrelated and remembered seeing something along the lines of what you were looking for. (I was looking for proof and details of a supposed mechanic where stations had a flat chance to detect illegal wares being smuggled at point of sale, which meant I had to trace the trade logic for a bit to find it, as it would affect how I'd set up my traders running drugs.)

Will the player ever have the option to turn on and off the priority ware mechanic by ware or by station? This would work great with the trade basket, especially if the trade basket had a select all button. Why has this not implemented? Is there a real reason?

No one can predict the future but for now its not planed. Posting about it all the time will not really help, worse for replying in old topics.
