At the same lime, the department said, profits of corporations before taxes showed a moderate increase the same period, rising at an annual rate of billion compared with $3.4 billion in the second quarter of the year.

Revi'sing its cs -imate of the Gross National Product, value of the nation's goods and services and the broadest measure of the economy, the said CMP grew at am annual! rale of 6.3 per cent in the third quarter, a sharper rale of in- crcjTse than the 5.9 per cent ra 'e of incrcirsc reported only a month ago.

The rate of inflation, as measured by GNP figures, was 2.4 per cent in the third quarter, higher than the 2.2 per cent nriginal.y estimffted and within the adminis-trtrtron 's foi-ecasts lor this year. The report said GNP increased by billion to a adjusted annual rate of $L164 trillion.

Profits are espccted to be strong this year as the economy continues on ils upward path. They were held down in the qucwter because of flood damages in the northeast due to tropical s'lorm Agnes.
