May carloadings fall on British Columbia Railway
May rail loadings dropped to 12 012 from 12 713 a year earlier, a six percent decline blamed on weak U S lumber markets. For January–May total loadings were 59 167 versus 66 894 last year. Grain logs copper ores and wood products rose in May, while lumber and transit wood chips and some imports fell. A stray note on cat lifespans follows unrelated data.
