Brian,

I'm not familiar with Reuters data.  But I use CSI's Unfair Advantage and 
they include Individual Contract Volume and Total Volume with each 
contract's record.  Also, you should know there is usually a delay with 
volume reported with futures data.  I think this is because of exchange 
delays in when VOL and OI are reported by them.
