MID-WEEK REPORT.
The Berlin Home Office his re- HONG KONG SHARES. cently published the report of the "working of the so-called "Smuk and Trash Act" since it was brought into law some two years ago. Re- publican Germany has no official censorship of books, magazines, or the theatre, and it was to remedy certain abuses of full freedom of thought and expression that this bill was proposed, by the Demo- cratic Minister, Hers Kulz.
Messrs. Harry O. Odell & Co. report as follows:-
Unions. Depreciated steadily from 8300 to 8365 sellers with hardly any business recorded at in- tervening rates,

Driven Underground?
The law has not been long stough in operation for anything like a final judgment to be passed upon , but as the report indicates, its work is slow, cumbersome, and not very effective in its results The great difficulty has been to decide what is trash or smut and what is genuine and honest literary work. The border-line has proved very difficult to discover. A doubt that arises in view of the smallness of the number of publications actually Fut under the ban is whether the publishers of dubious Hterature have not either accommodated them selves generally to the provisions of the law, or, in view of the fact that many undesirable publications are still sold in the capital nit feast, whether the trade has not been driven more or less underground by the operation of the Act.
