In general, you need to look up the name of the good. It can be different in each pak set.

freight=Holz

Once you figured the name of the good, put a line like the above in your DAT file. Be sure to write upper and lower case correct.

I using pak96. What are the cargo's names?

I'd think you can look into the pak96.comic folder, and check the goodXXX.pak files. The names of the goods should be in place of the XXX. It's been long though that I worked with other pak sets, and I don't have a copy of Simutrans at hand to check it.

Edit: I suspect the names to be in German, so you need to feed them into a translator to make sense of them. Should work fairly well, though, since it's only single words.
