"I thought there were plenty of reason for this thing to go up," said one trader. "But it's not a bullish market anymore, it's a bear market and it ignores any bullish news." Instead, traders said much of the day's activity was technically driven, with the benchmark December contract breaching chart support at 165.00 cents per lb and triggering light sell-stops. December arabicas fell 3.25 cents on the day, to 163.75 cents, after ranging from 168.85 to 161.30 cents. Second-month March closed 2.65 cents lower at 149.25 cents, while the forward months ended down 1.25 to 2.75 cents. The December/March switch narrowed to 14.50 cents compared with 15.10 cents at the close on Wednesday. Coffee prices headed higher at the opening on Thursday, helped by news Hurricane Pauline made landfall late Wednesday on the southern Pacific coast of Mexico bringing heavy rains to some coffee-growing areas. A coffee-producing region of Mexico's southern state of Oaxaca was hit directly by Hurricane Pauline, state governor Diadoro Carrasco said on Thursday. Alfredo Moises Ceja, head of the Mexican Coffee Producer Association, said before Pauline touched land on Wednesday that eight days of rains in Chiapas and Oaxaca states had ruined 400,000 60-kg bags. Chiapas accounts for about a third of the Mexican crop. Oaxaca produces nearly 15 percent of the crop. In Guatemala, trade officials said 200,000 bags of coffee had been lost to the heavy rains. Despite reports of crop loss, traders said early modest gains were quickly stifled by a round of local and commission house selling after the December contract failed to test resistance at 170 cents. They also said the hurricane had been priced in the market on Wednesday. "The market was up 4.00 cents yesterday on the hurricane so it may have been discounted," said Smith Barney analyst Walter Spilka. "For prices to go higher there has to be real evidence there is less of a commodity." "Given the way the market's acting -- sideways to lower -- you can tell we're getting closer and closer to new supply," he added. Market participants also brushed aside other potentially friendly news, Spilka noted. In Colombia, traffic in and out of the port of Buenaventura was paralyzed Thursday morning after leftist rebels dynamited the main highway that leads from the Pacific coast to the southwest city of Cali, port authorities said. Buenaventura handles 60 percent of Colombia's key coffee exports and all its sugar exports. Colombia -- the world's second-largest coffee producer -- typically begins shipping newly havested coffee in the second half of October. Additionally, some traders had expected the continued decline of exchange-certified stocks to underpin prices. After Thursday's close, the CSCE reported certified coffee stocks fell for the 13th day in a row. Stocks dropped by 8,151 60-kg bags as of October 6, to 48,135 bags. There was no coffee pending grading, the exchange said. But some traders said roasters continued restraint in buying coffee, combined with lackluster demand and the onset of the harvest, was likely to feed bearish sentiment. "The roasters are long coffee," said one trader. "Overall demand for coffee is not that great -- the weather (in the U.S.) has been too nice -- and exporters are offering coffee." Technically, traders continued to peg support at 160 cents, while resistance was seen around 168 and 170 cents. Turnover was unimpressive, at an estimated 5,337 lots. 101128 MET oct 97
