Not so Phelps Dodge's Louis Gates, whose customers left him high and dry last spring (TIME, May 22) when he refused to follow his competitors' price cut to 10?. Last week poker-playing Gates showed that he believes in flexible prices-on the up side. He posted a price of 12½?, panicked consumers to come back into the market for more inventory. Reluctantly Kennecott and Anaconda, both with...
