CECILIA RYAN 345-2028 Eight tables were in play on Friday evening at the Knights of Columbus euchre game in St. Columban. The winners were: Nancy O'Reilly - ladies high; Bob Regele - men's high; Livestock sector North American livestock producers should benefit from a reduced level of pork production during 1990 according to an agricultural forecast from the Royal Bank of Canada. But corn and soybean farmers in Ontario can expect continued downward price pressure throughout 1990 says Bill Gray, the bank's Head Office manager of agricultural services. "Grain prices are lower on a year-to- year basis, despite the fact that consump- tion continues to grow and stock levels- decline," Mr. Gray told a bank -sponsored farm seminar. "One explanation for this market reaction is that, in the absence of the high inflation and food scarcity psychology of the early 70s, buyers have become complacent with the tighter supp- ly and demand balance." Barring weather-related problems in a major crop producing area, Mr. Gray predicted that markets would remain weak as available supplies appear adequate to meet demand Irene Flanagan - most lone bands, Brother Percy Coe, consolation and Marie Hielmell won the door prize. The next game will be held on Friday, February 23 at 8 p.m. in the Knights of Columbus hall. Lunch is provided and everyone is welcome. BACK FROM HOLIDAY Father Joseph Hardy, pastor of St. Col - shows promise He also predicted that several factors would help the livestock sector remain pro- fitable in 1990, the major one being the reduced level of pork output in the U.S. "While Canadian hog inventories will not decline as much, if at all, Canadian pro- ducers will share in the higher North American prices," he explained. "Cattle prices are expected to increase on the basis of reduced beef output and higher hog prices," he added. Cattle and hogs will also benefit from a lower Canadian dollar which will be reflected in higher Ontario producer prices. Other highlights of the bank's agricultural briefing: sales of dairy pro- ducts have declined, leading to a 3 per cent cut in market share quota for Ontario dairy farmers. Seed prices are expected to increase slightly in 1990, but not as much as the 1989 increase. Fuel consumption will • remain steady with costs being higher due to reduced rebates and increased excise tax.
