Report on the Northern Pacific Rond. The

Northern Pacific Railroad can be run over its

and its greater freedom from the natural obsta¬

is ably illustrated In the concise report, of 
Mr. W. M. Roberts, Engineer-in-Chief of the 
Northern Pacific Road. The report gives satis¬ 
factory evidence that thisgreut highway to the 
Pacific will be the most successful of all com¬ 
peting routes, and that there will be as little 
danger of dc-lay* in travel during the severest 
months of winter as there Is on any of the New 
York or New England roads. The high charac¬ 
ter of Chief Engineer Robehts will stamp his 
report with confidence wherever it is read.

New YORK, Saturday, March H, 1812. 
Since our last report the Secretary of the Treasury 
has published his March Schedule of the Public Debt 
of the United States. The decrease in the Principal 
of the Debt since February 1 Is $12,821,000. The pres¬ 
ent Schedule close* the third year of the Adminis¬ 
tration of President Grant. The total decrease in the 
Principal of the Debt is $2®.GW,000, and the reduction 
of the Gold Interest charge on the Funded Stocks is 
$16,990,000 per annum. There is also ii saving of 
$1,250,000 a year in the Currency Interest, on what Hre 
known as the Three Per Cent. 1/cgai Tender Certifi¬ 
cates. The following is the present classification of 
the Funded Stocks:

Is active and generally prosperous. Thu Importers 
are doing more than in any previous spring setiaon. 
and the Domestic Manufacturers are meeting a good 
market, especially for Cotton and Woolen Goods. The 
Cotton receipts continue to fall off from the figure* of 
(he previous crop, and singular lo nuy, prices weaken 
as the receipts g<> down. This may be accounted for, 
perhaps, from tliu excessive speculation for future 
delivery earlier iti the season.

the London Exchange has recovered Its equanimity,

and Is per eem higher than lust week. The Ex¬ 
press Stock* are all very strong on the active Spring 
business of the Companies, They are 1H‘S2 per cent, 
higher than on our previous table. The general mar¬ 
ket has been, and is yet. unusually active, and the 
amount of business done on the Exchange larger than 
at uny time since early in January. 
FTggs. Supplies are well sold up, but to bring this 
about receivers have been making concessions freely. 
There U a feeling of uncertainty from day to day as 
larger arrivals may at any time come upon the market 
and force a severe break. The lute rold snap caused 
some stock to be fror.cn. und we have the IiiM day or 
two scarcely enough fresh in to meet the ordinary 
calls from the trade. The Important concessions 
made brings a better Inquiry. W e append prices ob-

turn that huller has taken, after some of the early 
eroulungs that can be remembered. There is no im¬ 
provement ns yet to note lu prices, nor do dealer* de¬ 
sire to press for more money than is quoted, fearing 
that an advance would Interfere with the steady 
stoek-redueirig trade that ba* set In. If tho activity 
continues, we shall be in a much better shape for new 
butter than at onetime during the past winter we had 
reason to expect- Df course, thc.rr arc many lot* of 
cxtrcinclv low grade* that must go to gTease, being 
completely until for our city or neat-hy trade, blit 
the sacrifice of those hopeless parcels will be willingly 
submitted to, If we cun only keep a movement that 
will work off the body of daily receipts and the useful 
surplus in store. Export* for the week, 161 firkins.
