Wheat Stages Broad Gains Oats, Rye, Barley I End Year Showing ' Slight Advances M By WILLIAM FERRIS ,! t CHICAGO,.! Dec. Sl-(P)-Grain celebrated the ringing out of the old year today by staging a. broad advance. Wheat paced the upturn, ajl contracts moving to new sea !nal peaks on heavy buying at tributed to mills. - . ; At one time September wheat was up more than 3 cents, but late profit-taking. shaved extreme gains. Final prices on wheat were ahead , I-2, May $1.69-; oats were up May 78; rye was ahead May $17-, nd barley was up 1 cent, May $1.22. f At the peaks, May and July were the highest for those con tracts since 1928, while Septem ber reached the best level for that delivery since 1917, when trading in all contracts was suspended during the first world war. How ever, the best price paid during the session 11.70 for May was not equal to 'the high of $1.72 ! made by the now defunct De cember delivery earlier this month.

An indication the next 30 days may bring a reduction came in a statement by Price Administra tor Chester Bowles that OPA hopes to maintain current coupon values in January "at least In most parts ; of the country; Bowles did not elaborate, but the supply situation is now most acute on the west coast.
