Weak conditions prevailed at the wholesale grains market today as wheat and a few other bold grains drifted owing to reduced offtake by flour mills and stockists.
Marketmen said adequate stocks position on higher supplies from producing belts mainly kept pressure on wheat prices.
They said easing demand from consuming industries led to a decline in maize and barley prices.
