UNDERTONE IS STEADY Heavy Rains in the Eastern Belt Was Only Sus taining Influence. New York, Sept. 21.—'There was only moderate trade at the opening of the local cotton market, mainly for pro fessional account. The weather map Indicated favorable condition In the belt generally, except In the vicinity of Macon and Montgomery, where there was too much rain. This checked sell ing and contributed to the steadiness that prevailed after the call. The professional element still has control of the cotton market. They hold possession through necessity; they cannot turn loose •nd the public absolutely refuses to come to tbelr assistance. As s result business Is very dull with trade light. Fluctuations during the morning corered a range of some l to 4 points. Weather reports this morning were un favorable In the eastern belt, though fa vorable west.
