CHICAGO, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) futures traded mixed on Monday morning with wheat falling sharply over accelerated U.S. winter crop harvest.

As of 1443 GMT, July corn was down 5.5 cents at 3.5575 dollars per bushel while July wheat was down 9.75 cents at 4.8975 dollars and July soybean up 1 cent at 9.065 dollars per bushel.
