Barring a rise in turmeric prices on scattered buying, other spices held steady at the local kirana market today.
Marketmen said some buying by stockists against restricted supplies from producing regions mainly led to the rise in turmeric prices.
In the national capital, turmeric edged up by Rs 100 to Rs 8,500-13,100 per quintal.
Following are today's quotations:
Ajwain (per kg) 175-220, black pepper (per kg) 700-900, betel-nut (kg) 280-330, cardamom brown-Jhundiwali (kg) 1,700-1,750 and cardamom brown-Kanchicut (kg) 1,800-1,900.
