FRIDAY EVENING, Nov. 6, 1868. •

The stringency in the money market has continued un
abated all the week, and has culminated to-day in a gene-
ral break-down in stocks, Milwaukee and St.. Paul among
others having fallen 211 per cent. on the figures of yes-
terday morning. The whole stock market is demoralized
and a very uneasy feeling prevails. For money on call
rates aro very irregular, all sorts of prices haviug been
raid, from to 1 per cent. commission, with 7 per cent in
gold. Discounts are almost at a stand, and several failures
in the Produce Market are announced. Government Bonds
have been freely pressed on the market, resulting in a
heavy decline in prices. Gold has fluctuated greatly,
having touched 132 k, closing to-day at 1321. Large blocks
of Border State State Stocks have been thrown on the
market at a decline of four and a-half to five and a-half
per cent. In Railroad Stocks an immense business has
been done, with a general swamping of margins. Spite
of the demoralized state of the market, first-class Railroad
Bonds continua to be steadily taken up for investment,
among the most prominent of which are Central Pacific,
Union Pacific and Rockford, Rock Island, and St. Louis.
In Miscellaneous Stocks the principal transactions have
been iu Pacific Mail, which closes at a decline from last
week's figures of nearly 15 per cent. Mining Stocks con-
tinue very quiet, with the exception of Consolidated Gre-
gory, Grass Valley, Mariposa and Smith and Parmelee, in
which a fair business is doing at, of course, lower rates.
Petroleum Stocks sell steadily at current rates.
Business in Express Stocks heavy. We quote—
