FURS ARE GOING OP "LONDON, Aug. 1— hur dealers in London say that furs in America and Great Britian are to be higher in price next fall and winter than ever. Alien furriers in London have advanced the price of the furs they are putting on the market 200 percent, since spring and many of these were damaged skins. iii some of the London shops iuv coat* were displayed recently at pric es ranging from $2U0 to $250 which i a short time ago could have been bought for $50 or $75. 44We are quite at the mercy of the Russian alien workman,” a British furrier said “They know more about the trade than anyone else. 1 would .lot guarantee the plainest tur coat at $100. as, owing to the lack of proper workmanship and the shortage of furs a coat is often made up of some piec j es that are faulty, though some parts of it may bo good. “It is difficult just now to get the alien furriers to do repairing. They are keeping coats and fur wraps in hand for months, as they do not want to be bothered with repair work while they can be preparing new garments for their fuli harvests of abnormal prices.
