MAY AND JULY COCOA FUTURES RECOVERED FROM THEIR SLIGHTLY LARGER DROP IN EARLY TRADING TUESDAY. THERE WAS TRADE IN MARCH FUTURES ON LIFFE, BUT NOT ON CSCE, BECAUSE AS THE MAIN CROP NEARS ITS END BUYERS LOOK TO THE MID CROP AND TO THE 1998- 99 MAIN CROP, SAID TRADERS. A DROP OF OVER 80% SINCE MONDAY IN THE VOLUME OF MAY FUTURES TRADED ON LIFFE IS NOT UNUSUAL, TRADERS SAID.

HOWEVER, FEARS OF A LOW QUALITY AND LOW VOLUME CROP DUE TO DRYNESS APPEAR TO HAVE CEASED TO HAVE A BULLISH EFFECT ON THE MARKET AS THEY DID A FEW WEEKS AGO. 181055 MET mar 98
