SOME MEATS ARE LOWER London, Nov. 29.—The situation of | the Roumanian armies defending Bu- charest appears increasingly critical. Only to the northwest of the capital do the Roumanian lines seem to be holding at all firmly and even here the capture of Curtea de Arges, on the Argenchu river, .although that point is eighty miles distant from Bu- charest, seems to indicate a weaken- ing of the Roumanian resistance in this direction. On the southwest the peril is imminent with the enveloping movement of the central powers placing their forces within forty miles Washington, Nov. 29.—Retail prices of foods in the United States as a whole advanced 3 per cent from Sep- tember 15 to October 15, making a 16 per cent increase for twelve months, as shown in reports compiled today by the Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics. The figurés came from 725 retail dealers in forty-five principal in- dustrial cities. In the thirty days covered in the reports, meats declined in price from 1 to 6 per cent, but all other articles given, except tea, coffee and rice, ad- vanced from 1 per cent for hens to 6 the average 1915 prices at 100 per cent, are given as follows: & er cent for butter, bread and sugar e t‘L rnd 11 per cent for eggs. of the capital. ] W Relative price changes for a number R News .dlfpaéches havct rep(:ll “é‘. llhe f i ing the month, puttin oumanian government an iplo- | gt St b p matic officials leaving Bucharest for Jasy, 200 miles northeast of the capi- tal, near the Russian frontier.
