This method is naturally much preferred by shippers and receivers in the sense that should the ship be unable to reach her port of destination through some mishap or other, the owners or carriers are not legally covered to receive payment for the freight.

The return of a portion of the freight charges by a carrier or a conference shipper in exchange for the shipper giving all or most of his shipments to the carrier or conference over a specified period of time(usually 6 months). Payment of the rate is deferred for a further similar period, during which the shipper must continue to give all or most of his shipments to the rebating carrier or conference. The shipper thus earns a further rebate which will not, however, be paid without an additional period of exclusive or almost exclusive patronage with the carrier of conference. In this way, the shipper becomes tied to the rebating carrier or conference. Although, the deferred rebate system is illegal in U. S. foreign commerce, it generally is accepted in the ocean trade between foreign countries. 2, record 6, English, - deferred%20rebate

Producers receive an initial payment when they deliver grain to a primary elevator. The level of this initial payment is set by the Canadian Government and is a government-guaranteed price to the producer. The initial payment for each pool account is usually set at what is regarded as a "safe" level and varies from year-to-year according to market conditions.... The net value of grain in each pool account is determined after all grain has been sold and all costs involved in marketing have been deducted. These costs include interest, insurance, storage, terminal elevators handling charges, and the Board's own operating costs. They do not include rail freight costs from primary elevators to terminals or primary elevator handling charges. These costs are deducted from producers’ initial payment when grain is delivered. 1, record 7, English, - producers%27%20initial%20payment

Un acompte est versé aux producteurs lorsqu'ils livrent leurs céréales aux silos de collecte. Le montant de cet acompte, fixé par le gouvernement canadien, correspond au prix que le gouvernement garantit aux producteurs. Le montant de l'acompte versé pour chaque compte de mise en commun est habituellement fixé à un niveau jugé "sûr" et varie d'une année à l'autre suivant la situation du marché. [...] Le coût du transport ferroviaire des silos de collecte aux silos portuaires de même que les frais de manutention aux silos de collecte ne sont pas compris dans les frais de commercialisation. On les déduit plutôt de l'acompte versé aux producteur lorsque celui-ci livre ses céréales. 1, record 7, French, - acompte%20vers%C3%A9%20au%20producteur

Le terme «fret», équivoque, peut revêtir trois sens : a) le prix du transport de la marchandise; b) le prix du loyer du navire; c) les marchandises elles-mêmes. En droit maritime, le mot «fret» désigne exclusivement le prix versé pour le transport des marchandises; celles-ci sont désignées sous le nom de «cargaison» (voir cargo). Le fret peut être stipulé ou taxé : a) au poids, au volume; b) au poids ou au volume, au choix et à l'avantage du navire; c) à l'unité; d) ad valorem. La cotation complète du fret comprend : le taux de fret, les surcharges éventuelles, l'unité de taxe, la modalité du fret (bord, sous palan, etc.), les détaxes et ristournes prévues sous certaines conditions en faveur du chargeur. 3, record 8, French, - fret
