The Nerark Mercury of this morning says:
The project of building a railroad between the
village of Haskensack and some point on the line Of
the New-York and Erie Road, has been agitated for
several years. Last Winter some amendments were
obtained to the charter after which the stock $70OOO
was subscribed by residents along the line. The work
has been let to contractors who are now energetcaly
at work on different points of the route and expect TO
have the grading completed by September next The
road will unite with the Erie near Boiling Spring,
about eight miles from Jersey City, proceeding along
the base Of Berrys Hill to its terminus five miles, with
a branch TO the village of Lodi one mile in length.

"The Bethlehem Rolling Mill and Iron Company to
he located at Bethlehem. Within a sew days sub
scrtion to the stock opened and has already been
filed by capitalists in that region and in Philadelphia,
to within some twenty thousand dollars Of the required
amount.
The Philadelphia Ledger of to-day says:
In the money market we have no change of rates.
Capital is in abundant supply, and desirable bills are
rather scarce. Really prime paper can be placed at
y cent and most of the first class bills are readily ne
Qoated at 81 a6 cent; security is, however, closely
looked TO- and paper that does not afford this is placed
with some difficulty at from to IL = per cent.
The Boston Post, in its weekly review of finance
and business, says:
We are probably at the zenith of dullness in trade
and money or if not then, fast approaching 1t, as 1t
would seem. Money goes "a begging at y cent on
rsclass paper OF stocks and Of the Banks have
been lending on call at 4l y cent for considerable
srms For the future the prospect is favorable for ac-
tiyity and large and healthy business As heretofore
remarked this country il unusually independent of the
rest of the world from the sound condition Of our
export and import trade, and the probability Of
heavy demand for all the Northern and Southern pro-
ducts that can be spared. AT home the crops OF all
kinds look WELL and the railroad receipts, the manu-
featuring profits and the terms OF reghts furnish con
clnsiye evidence of growing activity In the cities
however, great stagnation is exhibited just now, and
ali that can reasonably be done is TO look forward with
hone and confidence. How cheap credit i to become,
and how long it is to be cheap, who shall say We
know of nothing to indicate any change toward dear
mesa either in local or general affairs. All round we
shall probably have the dullest summer possible, but
there good reason for believing that the Autumn will
be quite active and profitable.
