CAUTIOUS FEELING
 IN COTTON MARKET Speculation Reduced to ExCep- tiOnaIIy Small Proportions. PRICE CHANGES DURING DAY Liverpool Closed on Account of Bank Holiday, and There Were No
 English Accounts-Finally
 Steady, Net Higher
PRICE CHANGES DURING DAY

New York, August With no English accounts today URerpool closed on ac- count of bank holiday) a feeling of eau ton was widespread, and this, in addition to several other doubtful conditions, re- dueed speculation to exceptionally small proportions, even for a midsummer cotton market. The fact that the August govern- ment report will make it's appearance Thursday was a prominent restraining fac tor. This report is looked to for something tangible regarding the situation in Texas and at other mooted points in the belt.
 Price changes during the day were con- fined within small range, but the tendency Was upward on coverings and small net buying, with the latter predicated- on the crop damage reports from Texas and the seatedy and heavy consumption in Europe as well as in this country. Prices opened about points higher for the active posi- tions with October at 5.71, December at 5.S0 and January at 5.S4 and later scored two points for further advances. The mar ket continued quiet during the afternoon, but held firm at the advance on the less favorable crop news and no pressure to sell. The market was finally steady to points net higher.
