The chairman of the Ju diciary committee has requested a pub lie hearing. Thus far the bill has caus ed no commotion but it is thought un likely that the Seaate will view with aamixed feelings a measure to raise the rate ef interest. The bill haa been recommended by the Federal Beservc Board, aad bankers arc of the opinion that it would keep-a good deal of North Carolina money at home that now passes its time ia South Carolina and other States where the rate is 8 per cent. No hearing hss been set for Senator Brown's primary wrecker.
