   Friday's Grains Lower in Risk-Off Trading

   Active contracts of corn, soybeans and all three U.S. wheats closed lower
Friday -- along with nearly all other commodities on the futures board. The
December U.S. Dollar Index is trading higher, still finding support from
Thursday's higher-than-expected report of U.S. retail sales.
