TWO MORE FLORIDA BANKS FAIL IN RUN MIAMI, Fla., July 2.-(United News)-A wave of unrest, spreading rapidly among depositors of small banks of this vicinity following the failure of two suburban institutions to open their doors for business today, had resulted tonight in the closing of two others. Another had successfully withstood a heavy run. Unable to bear heavy burdens of paper on which they could not realize, the Bank of Cocoanut Grove and the Bank of Buena Vista, allied institutions, had failed to open their doors. The Little River Bank, in the same section, caught unprepared, soon was forced to close. Paying out until its limited supply of cash was exhausted, the Dania bank also closed. The Bank of Hollywood survived the run.
