Barley depicted a mixed trend in the futures trading today with contracts for current month declining due to profit-booking at current levels, while delivery rising in January.
Marketmen said cutting down of positions at current levels by participants pulled down the delivery in December month contracts.
At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, barley for delivery this month dropped by Rs 15.50 or 1.02 per cent to Rs 1,500 per quintal, with an open interest of 10 lots.
However, barley to be delivered in January was trading higher by Rs 9.50 or 0.64 per cent to Rs 1,497.50 per quintal, with a business turnover of 10 open lots.
