Bits 0’ Business
Inflation has resulted in
sharply increased U.S. imports of
that most portable form of wealth
- jewels. Incoming shipments of
diamonds rose from 1.6 million
carats in 1972 to an annual rate of
2.5 million in the first seven
months of this year, up 58 per
cent. Emerald shipments gained
142 per cent, jumping from
326,000 to 790,000 carats . . .
Wisconsin has scored the
greatest increase of all the states
in the value of its farmland over
last year -- 21 per cent. Penn
sylvania is a close second with a
20 per cent rise.
