Price Of Furs Rising CHICAGO (AP) The price of furs is up including that of one sable coat shown here going for more than many families pay for a new home but industry spokesmen say now is the time to buy because prices are likely to go even higher. The full-length Russian sable coat was shown at the International Fur Fashion Fair this year for $60,000 a full $16,800 more than the median price for a new home listed by the federal government this spring.

But fur industry spokesmen say a pelt shortage is likely to drive prices up in the future. And bargain hunters at the fur frolic, attended by 5,000 persons Thursday, can find hope in comments by Danish-born Susanne Johnson, who modeled the Russian coat. "It was the most gorgeous coat out of 10,000 I've worn in 10 years of this work," she said. "But I realty couldn't tell much difference in it than one for $30,000." Irwin R. Ware of Chicago's Bonwit Teller Fur Salon says some species of American and Canadian lynx are up 100 per cent in price this year.

Ranch mink costs 35 to 40 per cent more and fox, raccoon and badger are up 50 per cent. "By 1981, fur prices will have doubled again, and it will not be uncommon to pay as much as $10,000 for a natural mink coat and $7,000 for a raccoon coat," he predicted. "Because of conservation, there are not enough wild animals being trapped to keep up with the demand." He added that mink farmers have dropped 71 per cent since 1970. For those in the market for the feel, but not the look, of fur, the show features sa hooded green mink duffle coat, a vj- oiet basket-weave coat-dress, a hooded cherry-red fox cape, a lavender ankle- length mink. For men, there are fur dinner jackets with silk piping or silk lapels, coyote and raccoon sweaters and full-length opossum coats.

(AP Laserphoto) Activist Seeks Appeal Ruling SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) Activist Mario Cantu, whose actions angered Mexican President Luis Echeverria this week, says he will appeal a conviction for shielding illegal aliens from detection at his San Antonio restaurant. A federal court jury here found Cantu guilty Thursday evening of conspiracy and two counts of shielding illegal aliens.

Sentencing will be later. "A good fight has more than one round," Cantu said. "We have just begun. We will take it (the case) to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and then to the Supreme Court." Cantu drew the ire of Echeverria Tuesday night.

The Mexican president was walking into the St. Anthony Hotel downtown for a reception when Cantu flashed a protest poster at him. The sign, which called on Mexico to "free political prisoners," was "insulting," Echeverria said later. Mexico claims it has no political prisoners. The Mexican president grabbed the poster from Cantu, tore it in half, flung it back at Cantu and called him a "fascist." Cantu later claimed that Echeverria's bodyguards had kicked him.

Cantu was charged with shielding illegal aliens after agents of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) raid his Mexican food restaurant June 18. INS officers arrested several illegal aliens who were working at the restaurant. Cantu has remained free on $5,000 bond. Pete Torres Cantu's lawyer, said after the verdict Thursday, "The trial was fair, but the charge was unfair." Cantu claimed he was the target of selective prosecution by the INS because of his political activities and support of illegal aliens in the United States.

In a related matter, federal sources here disclosed details of Mexican charges against Cantu for allegedly delivering firearms to groups advocating armed rebellion in Mexico. The "order of apprehension," issued Jan. 14 by a Mexican state court in Monterrey, specified the alleged firearms offense. Cantu denied the charge and said it was a part of a campaign to make him stop criticizing the Mexican government. The order was signed by Chief Judge Jose Antonio Hernandez Martinez of the First Judicial District of the state of Nuevo Leon.

It is based on charges Cantu and four others violated Mexican firearms laws by importing rifles, pistols and ammunition into Mexico.
