Gur prices close quiet on little doing

Lethargic conditions persisted at the wholesale gur (Jaggery) market in the national capital due to absence of buying activity in view of off-season amid adequate stocks.

Muzaffarnagar and Muradnagar gur markets too showed a similar trend for want of necessary support.

Marketmen said in the absence of buying interest, prices generally moved in a tight range in thin trade and finally settled at their last levels.

Following are today's rates (in Rs per quintal):

Gur chakku Rs 2,550-2,650, pedi Rs 2,500-2,600, dhayya Rs 2,700-2,800 and shakkar Rs 2,900-3,000.

Muzaffarnagar: Rasket Rs 2,000-2,100, chakku Rs 2,250-2,450, khurpa Rs 2,075-2,150 and Ladoo Rs 2,250- 2,350.

Muradnagar: Pedi Rs 2,175-2,300 and dhayya Rs 2,200-2,250.
