MONTREAL lCPl — Memo to men: If you're going to be trap- ped into buying the loved one a mink coat. better be trapped now than next year. '

Th- reason: Mink prices are on' the way up.

A majestic dark mink that costs $3,000 right now is going to cost as much‘ as $4,500 next spring because of an increase in pelt prices, said a spokesman for the Montreal fur industry in a recent interview.

“Majestic dark pelts—the pre- ferred color at the moment—sold at a recent Montreal auction fully 20 per cent higher than last year,” he said, “which means a much greater percentage increase at the consumer level.” _

One Montreal, buyer at this auction paid a top price of $45.50 for a lot of 81 majestic dark pelts. Since an average coat con- tains 70 pelts, the price of ' fur alone would come to more than $3,000 a coat, he said.

IT'S EXPENSIVE

“Add to that advertising, labor, general overhead and profit, and you’ve got a highdpriced item.”

The average price paid during a recent fur sale for male pelts was about $30 and for females—- whose pelts are smaller—about $26

The lady may have her choice of such shades as majestic dark, cerulea-n, desert gold, autumn haze and diadem. name a few. These are terms used by the Canadian breeders for pelts judged tops in quality of leather and underdm'.

','It’s no idle boast," said the spokesman, “to say ‘that Can-a- dia-n breeders, more than their counterparts elsewhere, go in for quality rather than quantity.

“As soon one breeder decides that a laid—baby mink—is not go. ing to produce a‘fine pelt, they are advised to destroy it, rather than spend $8 or $10 in food for an inferior product. About 90 per cent of all Canadian breeders fol- low this practice.”

PREFER, BARKER SHADES

American women had always preﬁerred darker minks to muta- Lately the Canadian wo- man is showing a similar dre- ference, he said.

Mutations — the tighter shades .—were unknown 15 years ago. Then breeders used to destroy the occasional light kid that showed up in a litter.

‘ Now they mate these ﬁreaks with other light mink and after several generations the animal breeds mainly light-colored kids. “The richest pelts on the two

New York City and Montreal, go to such wealthy centresas Dallas, Tex., where folks can afford to pay $15,000 for a tiny jcket,” said the spokesman.

“This year one buyer plid $450 per pelt for a 20-:pel-t lot of arc- turus — a new pale brown with a lavender - colored under-skin. The resulting bolera would cost 510.000 or $12,000 for skins alone.’
