In spite of this knowledge, Warder had permitted Ferrari to become president of both the Atlantic Stale Bank and the Harlem Bnnk of Commerce. At the bankruptcy hearings in the case of Michael Longo last week Warder testified that never before or since has the Banking Department permitted one man to bo president of two banks.

QULLJpiE Kentucky Derby Draws Many Away and Credit Pressure Stirs Fears. The stock market was a dull and uninteresting affair during the greater part of today's short session. Prices moved downward during the first hour in very quiet selling and showed a tendency to recover in the second hour. Radio, American Can, Anaconda, Cash Register, Packard, Montgomery Ward, Kennccott and various other leading issues were down from one to three points at times but showed signs of recovering the losses before the close. The dullness was attributed to uncertainty created by indications of further credit pressure on the market by the Federal Reserve and also to the fact that many big market interests were in Kentucky to witness the running of the famous Derby.
