NY Cocoa market close review for today, April 11, 2011

* Key July cocoa futures rose $43 to settle at $3,028 a tonne.

* May/July position rolling kept volume strong ahead of  first notice day for May on April 15 - traders.
 
* The arrest of Ivory Coast's Gbagbo ends a four-month  standoff with presidential rival Alassane Ouattara, but it may  not be enough to end a civil war and soothe ethnic divisions in  the world's top cocoa grower. 

* Market pared its gains after Gbagbo was arrested as it  raised hopes that the world's top grower will resume its cocoa  exports soon - traders.
 
* Production in a Cargill cocoa processing plant in the  Netherlands damaged in a fire on Sunday will resume within the  next few days.
