Grains market end on mixed trend

The wholesale grains market ended on a mixed note today with wheat and bajra drifting due to reduced offtake and barley and maize rising on the back of pick up in demand from consuming industries.
Traders said reduced offtake by flour mills against adequate stocks position mainly kept pressure on wheat prices.
They said, however, pick up in demand from consuming industries against limited arrivals from producing regions pushed up barley and maize prices.
