       HAMBURG, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Jordan's state grains buyer
purchased about 60,000 metric tons of hard milling wheat to be
sourced from optional origins in an international tender on
Tuesday, European traders said.
    It was believed to have been bought from trading house
Ameropa all at an estimated $253.00 a ton cost and freight (c&f)
for shipment in the first half of May, they said.
    Traders reported these estimated offers from other trading
houses in the tender, all per ton c&f: Viterra $276.00, Cargill
$259.75, CHS $258.55, Buildcom $264.77, Cerealcom Dolj $286.00,
MC Food $274.00, Grainflower $259.50 and The Andersons $262.80.
    A new tender for 120,000 tons of wheat is expected to be
issued in the coming days closing on Feb. 20, also likely to
seek May/June shipment, traders said.
    Reports reflect assessments from traders and further
estimates of prices and volumes are possible later.
    In its previous tender on Feb. 6, Jordan purchased about
60,000 tons at an estimated $262.95 a ton c&f for shipment in
the second half of April.
