United States and Russian Trader The United States Commercial Attache at Petrograd, Mr. W. J. Huntington, in the course of a communication dealing with the business relations between man- ufacturers and exporters Russia and the United States,

in says he main difficulty in business des lings between Russis and the United States is the qu.stion of terms. In most cases |the American manufacturer insists on cash in New York as soon as the goods are sent there. The Russian buyer, on the other hand, if he is reliable, is «illing; to guarantee the payment in every way and generally through banks, but only part in a United States port, the other part in a Russian port. :: An American agent in Russia had an opportun- ity to place an order from a local cooperative society for 10,000 pairs of shoes, payable one-third with order, the other two-thirds upon arrival in a Russian port. The latter payment was guarant- eed by a local bank. He - was unable to accept this order because the manufacturer in- sisted on payment in full in New York, although as a matter of fact he could get a price that would easily make up the interest on deferred payment. Such instances result in a comparison between American and German methods that will make the Russians more willing to revert to old trade channels after the war unless more Americans are ready to offer the same service as the Germans, The American manufacturer need not grant credit without proper guarantee, but the Russian market cannot be held permanently without the granting of credit at least to the extent of part payment in à Eussian port. "The Russian merchant is used to a definite quotation_good for a certain period. It is not considered serious business to quote to-day then Ирод acceptance

“

and

of order state that the price has gone up or that the goods can- not be had. According to Russian law, when an order has been aç- cepted and a deposit taken (upon which the Bussian buyer insats), if the order caunot be fulfilled the person making the sale must return double the deposit and besides is liable for damages. An instance has come to my atten- tion of a large order for leather closed by an American agent immediately upon the receipt of the manufacturer's cable terms. After cabling that the order lad been closed, the agent received word that the factory could not deliver. Sometimes terms are changed by American manu- facturers after acceptanos, 'An order for leather belting was accepted by the main office in the United States on terms cash at the time of shipment: ten days later the manufacturer cabled that he would not start preparing amount was paid at once. It is the belting unless a certain understood that the cases cited do not represent the practices of the majority of United States BI- porters, but they are more numerous than they should be, and each experience of this kind weakens the reputation of the American business man in Rusila.. I believe that it is the right idea for the United States facturer to sell direct in Russia, but all the American manufactur- ers interested in Russian trade must help and do it now, Other wise we shall again get into the hands of agents of other countries, and direct sales will be as difficult as before, i
