There are different manners of payment accepted in foreign trade: payment on an open account, which is usually effected against documents and sometimes by installments if agreed between the parties; payment for collection; by a draft which is an order in writting drawn on a bank or another firm to pay at sight, when it is presented or a certain number of days later. the most generally practiced manner of payment is by a letter of credit which may also be effected by installments in case of partial deliveries.
since the terms of payment in a contract are very often a combination of different manners an advance payment can be specified too.
payment in cash is very infrequent and is practiced in small transactions only.
here is an example of a transaction discussed between a russian foreign trade organization and wright & co., ltd., known as very reliable exporters of up-to-date industrial chemicals and chemical laboratory equipment from england.
an exchange of correspondence took place between the parties concerned and was followed by mr. smoke’s visit to moscow.

Since young age, I have always wondered what the perfect place for living would be like. Now, I can say that I have a clear vision of the city of my dreams. First of all, it should be situated in a sunny part of our planet and have great weather conditions all year round. Secondly, there should be neither crime nor any violence there. Only good and kind people can reside in such city. Life can be much easier and nicer if everyone is loving and understanding. In the city of my dreams people will live in peace and quiet, without any worries and fears. This city will have excellent roads, cheap stores, many beautiful parks and playgrounds for kids, several entertainment centers and else. The population of the city will be neither too rich, nor poor. People will live equally well. Older people will be respected and taken care of. The streets will be clean and safe. There will be no homeless animals in the city of my dreams. Another important condition is to have a loyal government. People in the city of my dream will never be in a hurry and they will do only the jobs they like. However, I certainly understand that it’s just my dream, I really hope that at least some of the mentioned qualities will come true in the future.
