I was reading some research that said neutering might slow down the closing of growth plates if it does at all but that it won't stop it. There really are no study's done with small breed dogs especially yorkies. Most are done with bigger breed dogs whose bones and stuff grow slower. There is a huge difference between larger dogs and smaller dogs. Most of the issues people have are when a dog is spayed before 6 months but even then it's not often and there have been no study's. I would get your dog neutered it will keep him from marking, it will keep him from having aggression with other dogs, it will keep him from smelling a female in heat and hurting himself and possibly getting lost, and because yorkies are highly stolen dogs one that is not fixed is worth more money and would more then likely be sold to a byb or puppy mill to breed. In my opinion I feel it is the responsible thing to do.
