London, March 14.-
The International Tin Commit- toe has increased the tin output quota to forty-five per cont. for three months, April, May and June, 1935.
The increase in the quota took the market by surprise, as general- ly no change had been expected.
The market, however, does not expect to become dioorganised through this increase, though slightly lower levels are possible.

TORIES HOLD SEAT IN TRI-PARTY FIGHT
London, Mar. 14. The by-election in the Norwood division of Lambeth, caused by the appointment of the former Conservative member, Sir Walter Greaves-Lord, K.C., as a Judge, has resulted into the National Government retaining the seat, but with a much-reduced majority.
The result was declared to-day as follows: Mr. Duncan Sandys (Nat. Con.) Mrs. Barbara Gould (Lab.) Mr. Richard Findlay (Ind. Con.)
Conservative maj.
16.147. 12,799. 2,695.
3,346.
The contest threatened to split the Conservative vote, but although Mr. Findlay stood as an Independent member of the Party, he did so on public grounds, and not, as Mr. Randolph Churchill did at Wavertree, as an opponent of the Government's India policy.
He supported the main prin ciples of the India Bill, but anld| he would, if elected, reserve the right to vote against the Govern- ment on amendments to the
measure.
At the last General Election, in which there was a straight fight between the Conservative and La- bour candidates, the former won with a majority of no less than 23,634. The oficial Conservative vote now shows shrinkage of: 14,704, whilst the combined Con- servative vote is 12,000 below the General Election figure,
creased by 6,682. The polling at the by-election was not so heavy
