NEW DELHI - Prices of maize rose in Purnea, Bihar, due to strong demand for good quality crop, but prices in Davanagere, Karnataka, were unchanged. Wheat prices fell slightly today in key wholesale markets of Indore due to lower demand, traders said.
* Prices of MAIZE rose sharply in Purnea due to higher demand in spot markets for the new crop of good quality, said local trader Kanhaiya Rastogi.
* In Bihar, the fresh crop is currently being sold at 2,400-2,500 rupees per 100 kg, and new crop arrivals were pegged at 1,500 bags (1 bag = 65 kg), traders said.
* However, a rise in arrivals of the new crop is likely to weigh on prices in the coming days, they said.

* In Davanagere, arrivals were pegged at 400 bags, unchanged from Friday.
