Timeline of a Massilian Resurgence

In the 3rd century bc, Massilia city-state was in a slow decline. It once was the major trade power in the western Mediterranean and had trade connection all the way to the Baltic Sea and had trade connection deep into Gaul all the way to Britain at one point. However much had changed since the middle of the 4th century Carthaginians had pushed them out of Iberia in a naval battle of the coast of Iberia. All other trade out had been considerably decreased, their only profitable trade route was into Gaul which slaves and other Gaulish products were sent to the burgeoning Roman republic. Roman goods that went north this was the only thing keeping the city profitable. However, a series of action in faraway Greece and in Massilia would turn this small city-state into a kingdom that would forever change history

If I may : slaves weren't really trade goods in Gaul before the late IInd century : slavery existed but was rather more a household slavery.
The more important export of Gaul, without doubt, was rather grain and then metals either from Gaul itself (gold, silver, cooper, etc.) or trough Gaulish trade-roads (tin, noticeably), then salt.
What was traded, essentially products with an high added value and considered as prestige goods were high-tier pottery, olive, wine, etc.

Note that these exchanges were essentially centralized on Phocean cities and Etrusceans, and Rome didn't got involved before a much later period.

However much had changed since the middle of the 4th century
The reasons for this decline are more to be searched in the Vth century : reasons are rather complex, because it involves Massalia gaining the upper hand on Gaulish trade.
Very roughly :
- Athenian hegemony meant that Greek trade focused more on eastern Mediterranean basin for some time, including a preference for Black Sea grain trade rather than Gaulish.
- Climatic changes implied both a decline of Gaulish farm production, and a overpopulation of peripheral areas to great trading principalities along the Rhone, which led to armed instability eventually followed of a reduction of Massaliote chora at the benefit of Celto-Ligurian confederations.
- Etrusceans being chased out of Celtica's shore (especially emporioi such as Lattara, which fall into Massalian sphere) led them to focus on Padan trade (Tuscisation of the cities there) and the emergence of new trade roads by-passing Mediterranean Celtica and favouring Alps/Rhine/Moselle.
- The fall of Halstatt principalities (due to a mix of all of this) only increased the commercial crisis in Massalia.

. Roman goods that went north this was the only thing keeping the city profitable.
Most trade goods from Italy (essentially black-glassed pottery and wine) came from Campania until the IInd century BCE.
Rome didn't appeared as a major trade player in Gaul before, and essentially on colonial lines.

Massalia, that said, still had a profitable trade up to this period (even if eastern Languedoc's oppida were re-diverting a part of Italian trade trough the "Gallic Isthmus" (roughly the Aude/Garonne basin) thanks to its own production.
