NEW YORK, Sept. H.-Generally
speaking. the stock market displayed
good deal OF flrmness to-day. The adj
Yances were by no means large, but
the fact that there was any improve
ment at ali excited no little apprehen-
sion In the bear ranks. In view OF the
big drop In Sugar and the weakness OF
some OF the other lrdustrials and Spe-
cialties. Sugar was forced for sale
throughout the session. and declined from
Dia, to pui. The stock figured for - 400
shares, In total for the whole list OF
22f.O2S shares. The decline was due
chiefly to the statement 10y President
Havcmeyer that the sugar industry had
been unavoidable since the passage OF
the tariff bill, ana that the rehnerles

WHY France Hates Italy.

The true cause Of French hatred for
Italy Is not far to seek Smartlng under
The know edge that the French armies
had been defeated by the Germans, ana
that these defeats would probably be
repeated were the French TO attack Ger
many. tn" French looked elsewhere Tor
an opportunity OF regainng their lost MI
litarV prestige. 1t was evident to every
Freuchmau that VI Italy stood alone
She could easily be crushed by the over
whclmng numbers Of the French Army
France could thus gain military glory,
new territory. and a reaiy-made fleet.
Here then Is a glorious opportunity
waiting for the armies OF France, and
nothing bat that pestilent Triple Alliance
stands IN the way This Is the whole Sc
er"t OF ;hc growth and violence of
French hatred toward Italy. France
wishes TO wage a war IN which victory
would be REASONABLY certain. France
wants the superb Italian fleet, the posses
sion of which would give her an over
Wholming naval prepoHderance in the
Mediterranean. France wants TO destroy
Italian unity so as 10 render any future
Triple Alliance impossible. and to streng-
then the attachment Of French Catholics
90 the Republic by restoring the temporal
sovereignty Of the Pope. And nothing,
s1 the French believe, binders this desir-
able consumatou except the fact that
behind the army of Italy are ranged the
armies OF Austria and Germany.-W. H..
