Gram, gram dal prices down

New Delhi, May 09, 2008 (Asia Pulse Data Source via COMTEX) -- The wholesale prices of gram and its dal (local) today fell between Rs 50 and Rs 70 per quintal in the national capital after government banned futures trading in the commodity.

Gram prices fell by Rs 50 to Rs 2350-2355 per quintal while its dal (local) prices lost Rs 70 at Rs 2620-2267 a quintal.

Traders said government's decision to ban futures trading in gram helped its prices to decline.
