Citizens of Europe's 10 Common Market countries reflect the fractious mood of their leaders, with the French and West Germans expressing particular hostility toward Britain, according to a new poll. The poll, which was conducted for the European Parliament and a group of European newspapers and made available to The New York Times, also found that Europeans were sharply divided over moves to end all trade barriers among the Common Market countries, and that only a minority were convinced that a united Europe would improve the lot of their children. The survey, called the Euro-Barometer, involved interviews with 9,746 people in the 10 countries that make up the Common Market. Reflects Budget Dispute The survey comes as the Common Market is embroiled in a sharp budget dispute, provoked largely by Britain's unhappiness over the community's spending practices and its agricultural program. Jacques-Rene Rabier, the European Commission's consultant on public opinion and the supervisor of the poll, said that in comparison with earlier surveys in the Euro-Barometer series, the latest poll reflected a modest decline in popular confidence in the Common Market.

At about this time of year, thousands of scuba divers begin exploring lake bottoms and coastal shoals in the New York area in search of shipwrecks and relics, including some that have lain undisturbed for generations. Many take home souvenirs of their dives, looking on their hunt for relics as harmless. But local archeologists say a growing number of divers are removing irreplaceable clues to the region's maritime past and, in some cases, damaging or destroying wrecks that date back to Colonial times. In Lake George in upstate New York, for example, divers have ripped apart wooden boats that were scuttled in the 1750's during the French and Indian War, authorities say. In waters off Montauk Point, divers with crowbars have pried loose cannonballs and ruined rigging from a British man-of- war that sank during the American Revolution.

Bernard Krimm, a 36-year-old Chicagoan, may receive as much as $325 in extra cash this year from an innovative health plan. The money will be added to his pay as a speechwriter if he stays away from hospitals and doctors. Under a similar plan, Diane Giacomini, 31, a school board clerk in Mendocino, Calif., has accumulated $800 in an employer-financed ''stay well'' account, money she did not spend on her health. She will get this money, plus any future accumulations, when she retires or leaves her job. Their employers and hundreds of others across the country are offering a variety of such incentives to tens of thousands of workers, in a sometimes controversial campaign to curb the rise in health costs, which are still rising faster than the cost of living.

Analysts expect Iran to begin its ''final offensive'' against Iraq soon. Military analysis, page 4. WASHINGTON, May 27 - The Reagan Administration has decided to double the number of Stinger antiaircraft missiles being sent to Saudi Arabia, Administration officials said today. The weapons are intended for use against possible Iranian air attacks on oil tankers, oil fields and desalinization plants.

A section of the television airwaves once reserved for programming by colleges and schools has become the latest battleground in an intense struggle to exploit the commercial potential of pay television. Hundreds of colleges and companies are vying for licenses to broadcast on the microwave section of the airwaves in an electronic gold rush set off by a Federal Communications Commission decision a year ago. The competition for the new licenses has pitted a number of nonprofit institutions against each other. In one instance, the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges has accused Columbia University of ''acting as a front'' for a private company. John Mason Harding, general counsel for Columbia, defended its involvement as a ''wonderful opportunity for both the United States and Columbia.''
