The Mayflower was not specifically designed for a certain kind of cargo, nor were any other sailing ships of the period. She was a general freighter, and is on record as having carried herrings and wine on several voyages. But no doubt she carried other cargo as well before taking the Pilgrims on board: she had been in service for at least 10 years when that voyage was made.
