April 30 (Reuters) - U.S. industrial conglomerate 3M Co ( MMM )
posted a 21% rise in quarterly profit on Tuesday, as
price hikes and cost cuts offset the impact from slow sales.
The St. Paul, Minnesota-based company reported an adjusted
profit of $2.39 per share for the quarter, compared with an
adjusted profit of $1.97 per share, a year earlier.
