heretofore contracted, the prohibition
at this time of polygamy or the dis
continuance of divorce, must unavoId-
ably result in the active resistance Of
a people imbued with fanatic determi-
nation to die rather than submit to a
privation of their religious liberty in
matters they believe to be fundamen-

Mr.. Carpenter said that girls of
prominent families in Mindanao and
Sulu are being sent to Manila public
schools where they associate with
Christian girls and gradually become
imbued with the homogeneous ideas
held by the Christians. When they re-
turn to their own people their influ-
ence tends to eliminate plural mar
riages, according to Carpenter, who
predicted that the practice will be vir-
tually wiped out in the course of a
few years.

There was also renewed covering by old crop short' which carried May up to 36.44 or lG points net higher and into new high ground for the movement. Octo- Der showed the maximum gain, sell ing at 30.o5 or 80 points net higher and closing at 30 90 with the general list closing steady at net ad- vance of 3 to 70 points. March was relatively dull during the entire day and after selling at 391S closed at 39.12 or only 3 points net higher.
 The market opened steady at an advance of to 35 points on mod crate demand from Liverpool anl the trade. Prices were somewhat irregular during the early trading owing to a less active demand from near month shorts and prospects for better weather in the South. Offer ings were light, however, and the market showed increasing strength during the afternoon owing to the development of firmer tone in the stock market, the continued full eX- port movement, and reiterated com plaints of backward start with the crop.
 The low temperature shown on the early map was also a factor on the advance. Closing prices showed re- actions of several points from the best under realizing.
