The Canadian Wheat Board reports west coast clearances of all grains at 236.3 million bushels last Saturday, beating the 1965 56 crop year record. If current pace continues, total exports may surpass 260 million bushels by July 31. Rapeseed and barley lead gains, with rapeseed at 29.5 million and barley at 45.6 million bushels. Chief Commissioner G N Vogel credits improved handling and the block shipping system and car pooling at Vancouver terminals for the record, noting rail delays from labor disputes and heavy snow. Unloads averaged 700 rail cars per day in the 17 weeks since pooling began at Vancouver, about 1.4 million bushels daily. A similar pooling system started at Thunder Bay on June 21.
