A monger is a merchant dealer or trader (as opposed to a pedlar, who is a traveling vendor of goods). Mongers were respected merchants, though they were not as wealthy as merchants who had their own set up stores. With respect to professions, the term is applied as a suffix (especially in the UK) to specify someone who deals in a particular kind of good; e.g.:
