Algeria buys 90,000-120,000 T wheat at $229-$230/T - trade

PARIS/HAMBURG -

* Algeria's state grains agency OAIC bought 90,000-120,000 tonnes of milling wheat in tender at $229-$230/T, cost and freight, for shipment in first half of July - traders.

* The origin of the wheat is optional but likely to be sourced from France, traders said.

* OAIC, one of the world's biggest grain importers, does not disclose details of its tenders and results reported by traders are estimates.

* The tender, which closed on Thursday, was the second time OAIC sought wheat for July, suggesting it had not fully covered its needs in a previous purchase, traders said.
