CHICAGO, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Grain futures closed mixed on the Chicago Board of Trade Tuesday as the dollar rose against the euro and the yen.

Corn was off 1 to off 1 3/4, soybeans were unchanged to off 1 3/4, wheat was off 6 1/2 to off 7 1/2 and oats were up 1 1/4

Corn futures fell after the U.S. Department of Agriculture said 92 percent of the country's corn harvest was completed.
