    * Liffe May cocoa <LCCc2> ends up 21 pounds at 2,346 pounds  a tonne. Market is supported by violence in Ivory Coast as the  world's top grower moves closer to civil war.
    * Liffe May robusta coffee <LRCc2> ends down $21 at $2,363 a  tonne. Market supported by strength in arabicas market, which is  underpinned by a shortage of Colombian beans.
