Absence of cash flow in the market and slack physical demand dragged pulse seeds and pulse prices with chana (kanta) being quoted at ₹5,700-5,750 a quintal. Given adequate availability of carry-over stock and expected arrival of Australian chana, rally in prices appears unlikely in the coming days, said Rahul Vora, a trader. Chana dal (average) was at ₹7,400-7,550 a quintal, chana dal (medium) ruled at 7,650-7,750, while chana dal (bold) quoted at ₹7,850-7,950 a quintal. Dollar chana ruled firm at ₹12,500 a quintal amid arrival of 500-600 bags. In container, dollar chana (42/44 count) went for ₹13,600; 44/46 count at ₹13,000, while the 58/60 count went for ₹11,500 a quintal.
