Shot noise reduction in quantum wires is interpreted within the model for the ''0.7 structure'' in the conductance of near perfect quantum wires [T. Rejec, A. Ramsak, and J.H. Jefferson, Phys. Rev. B 62, 12985 (2000)]. It is shown how the Fano factor structure is related to the specific structure of the conductance as a consequence of the singlet--triplet nature of the resonances with the probability ratio 1:3. An additional feature in the Fano factor, related to the ''0.25 structure'' in conductance, is predicted.
