FRENCH JOURNALS.
Shares of Several Bought and Sold Daily
ON the stock Exchange.

Most of the French journals have q
sale de depeches where bulletins are
displayed and museum of relics of the
paper is kept French journalism is
much more personal in regard 10 It's llt-
erary composition than that Of England
or America. A large proportion of the
articles are signed with the names of
the writers, even when the work Is
more or less Of a routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments OF
the paper. On the other hand, the own
ership of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
in America. Very many of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso-
Citations, while the stock of several of
the best known, such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily
ON the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing as regularly as those of rail
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation of all but very few
of the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. If paper
contains a striking article, well adver-
tised previously, or if its feuilleton, con-
tinued story or memoirs, which most OF
| the French journals consider an essen
tial part of their daily issue, is by some
well known author, the circulation will
run up 80, 200 or 100, 600 in week
and drop again as soon as the special
feature is discontinued. When lie Joui
began publishing M. Henri Rochefort';
memoirs, its circulation went up five
fold, although the price of the paper
had been doubled in order to make hay
while the sun shOne.
The French press is much more con
centrated in the capital than that o
other European countries. In Germany
