Wheat dara marginally up in thin trade

New Delhi, Feb 22 (PTI) In restricted activity, wheat dara prices traded marginally higher by Rs 5 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today on some buying support from flour mills.

Elsewhere, other grain prices continued to trade in a narrow range due to lack of worthwhile buying activity and settled around previous levels.

Traders said scattered buying from flour mills helped wheat dara prices to trade marginally higher.
