CHICAGO, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Grain prices were mixed Monday on the Chicago Board of Trade with no major reports released as the U.S. Department of Agriculture was closed for Columbus Day.

Corn was off 6 to off 7 3/4, soybeans were off 1/2 to off 11, wheat was up 1/2 to up 3 1/2 and oats were up 3 1/4 to up 4 3/4.

A stronger dollar weighed on corn and soybean futures Monday. Slight gains were noted in wheat prices as dry weather in winter wheat production areas caused some concern.
