Oct. 2s-Predictions of a material falling off in shipments of wheat from Russia were the basis of considerable strength in athei wheat market here today The close was firm with prices 1-4 to 1-2@5-S cent above yesterdays final figures. Corn and oats followed wheat and closed firm. while provisions were strong.

The market closed firm with December at $1.05A.
 An official forecast of unsettled weather for the corn belt caused considerable cover ing by shorts in the corn market, which resulted in a firm tone throughout the day. hc compared with the previous close.
 Oats were firm because of a brisk de- mand by shippers for the cash grain. The bulk of trading was in the May delivery Al the close prices were a shade to 1s e h c higher.
 Provisions were strong all day owing to a general investment demand based on contin- ued light receipts of live hogs throughout the West. Total arrivals of hogs today at the principal Western centers more than 35.00o less than the combined move ment for the corresponding day year ago. The market closed strong with prices un- changed to 4oc higher.

In other cases the refusal to eurtail Is based on the fact that all the mills are now doing so.
 Fall River mill officials have come out with the declaration that there will be no curtailment there now, and that April is the earliest time at which reduction could come. By that time, however. they expect that the way will be clear to continue running on fall time to fill contracts in hand.

 Hence they are able to sell the fin- ished product at the old price with a very fair margin of profit. while oth- CT mills, whose proprietors are urg- ing general curtailment, are selling material of which they paid several cents more. But even the latter, Fall River men says. are able to sell for profit.

No CurtaiIment Yet.

NO CuftalIlnent nets
 Raleigh, N. C.. Special to New Orleans
 Times-Democrat.
 Some of the leading cotton manu- lecturers of the Carolinas, where more than half of the thousand tex tile plants of the South are located, today expressed fears of at least par tiaI failure to accomplish the full pur- pose of the plan of cotton mill cur fai1ment adopted by the American Cotton Manufacturers Association re- gently and ordered to be put into op- eration this week, because of the large percentage of mills that have as yet shown no steps to conform with the order and of others that 1t Is cer- tain will not do so.
 In Raleigh not one of the mills has suspended or curtailed operations in any manner, and very few in this immediate section have done so. In the Piedmont section of North and South Carolina. where the big mills are most numerous and where the curtailment was understood to be made very general. not half the mills
