Barley prices eased by Rs 5 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today following reduced offtake by consuming industries.
However, other grains continued to trade in a tight range on little doing and settled at last level.
Traders said muted demand from consuming industries against adequate stocks mainly led to decline in barley prices.
In the national capital, barley edged down by Rs 5 to Rs 1,450-1,460 per quintal.
