WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-COlonel w. R.
Morrison said last evening: II have read
the dispatches from Chicago, and will say
in reply that have sent no messages to
the Democracy of Illinois by any one
whomsoever. This answers all the asser-
tions and is as good as a whole column Of
denial" The foregoing statement from
Colonel Morrison was brought out by the
publication of a story in Chicago to the
effect that the plans for the Democratic
campaign in Illinois had been twisted out
of shape and beyond recognition by Col
onel Morrison through his lieutenants,
William S. Forman and William B.
Brinton, sending word to the Democratic
state executive committee that the free
silver idea must be repudiated before they
could use his name with authority as tho

years has stood at the head of all Week

Business men are approached daily by

Speculation on the Exchange Practically
 at a StandstiIl,

Speculation on the Exchange Practically
 at Standstill
 New York, May 1.-Speculation at the stock exchange. except in few spe- cialties, was practically at a standstill to-day. Tobacco was the most active stock on the list. It opened slightly higher, at 72, broke to 691a, rallied to TIA and fell to 6S&@69M. The early rise was due to the dismissal of the application for an injunction seeking to restrain the payment of the scrip dividend, and the decline to a pressure of long stock on statements that the matter would not be finally disposed of for at least two months.
 In the meantime the Farmers Loan and Trust company is paying both the Paul, Burlington and Quincy, and Reading followed next in point of ac' tivity. Sugar moved up to 124la and receded to 123B@124. Burlington and Quincy, St. Paul, Reading, Western Union, and the Anthracites and South westerns showed little of interest. Reading was strengthened for time on the report from Philadelphia of the signing of the foreclosure decree. The report that the New York coal eompa- nies had advanced the price of anthra- cite twenty five cents per ton, to take effect immediately, however, fell flat. It will be remembered that the Read : ing and Lehigh Valley advanced prices early in the week.
 London did little or nothing owing to the fact that the exchange there was closed. according to custom on May day. The gold shipments naturally oc- casioned considerable comment. At one time it was stated that $1,700, GOO would be forwarded, but at the close of the day it was stated at the sub-treas- ury that the net engagements amount ed to $1,450,000, quarter of a million having been returned by one exporter. According to good authorities, however, only $1, 900 will go.
 Speculation closed steady in tone. Net changes show declines of 1s@A jer cent. outside of Tobacco, which fell 21a per cent. Sugar St. Paul, Northwest and Western Union gained A@5s per cent.
 The bond market was dull and firm The sales footed up $909000.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and Is Center street, New Haven:
