WALL STREET "WILES.

SOME BARE-FACED SWINDLES. PUTS, CALLS AND STRADDLES HOW TEOPLE ARB DELUDED ISTO LOSING THEIR MOSEY TBK PRINCIPAL DEALERS IN THESE PRIVILEGES, A correspondent of the Philadelphia Tlrxes writes from New York. "How to Speculate Without Riakl" "Po V' "Calls," "Straddles," and "Double Pil leges!" Such are the head lines in wboie columns of advertisements in our city journals. Now I want to expose one of tbe most barefaced swindles connected witb Wall street, and . it will be no Jault of the Times It any of its readers are captured by tbe "put and call" brokers in Gotham. The newspapers have generally let these gentry alone, because their advertlsnlgpatronsgs bas been liberal. Tbe press, in tact bave been their confederates. Inasmuch as without the use of their columns the disgraceful business must long ere this have come to such a disastrous end. But such publicity was given last week to tbe damage the brokers were doing to a worthy class as workingwomen, tbat to longer tolerate these gentry, and permit them to liout their gilded sigrs in tbe laces of the whole community H3 "bankers," would be to acquiesce in a public shame. What is a "put?" For tbe bene lit of tbe uninitiated I will explain. It is a privilege to deliver a certain stock at a given future time at a certain price, generally 3 or 4 per cent beyond its market value at tbe time ot tne negotiation. For this privilege sums are charged varying from $100 to $300, according to the time and nature of the contract. Now, this is a very tempting form of gambling: say, for example, that Rosk Island is selling for 105, and a person believing it much too dear can boy the privilege for 60 days of putting it at 100 100 shares ot stock, representing in monev f 10,500 and all this for f 100 and the broker's commission, ir, then, Mr. Tracy, tbe president, dies, or Mr. Yanderbilt is thrown out of his wagon in Harlem lane, or any other important event happens, down goes the stock to 90 or 9.". In tbat case the buyer of tbe "put" takes in bis stock at the lower figures, and pockets the difference between that and the higher price. All THIS L0OK8 VERY WELL on paper, but there are several reasons why the poor'dupes are reminded of the thimblerig game of "Now you eee it now you don't!" In the first place the brokers are nearly all of tbe "confidence" class, and generally buy and sell puts and calls on straw men, whom they represent as reputable, but who, upon a decline or rise in the market ot three per cent., would incontinently fail; and. In that case, all that is left is a printed contract in which the owner is plainly written down an ass. In tbe next place, a stagnant and unfluctuating stock market, where prices do not change two per cent, in a month, is oiteu to be contented with, and in that event tbe money is surely sunk. The dupe, however. Is induced to invest once more, oa some confidential "point" in regard to some stock by which he can sorely get bis money back. The "call" i3 exactly opposite to the "put." The broker agrees to give tbe buyer tbe privilege of calling a stock, eay Pacific Mall, at such a figure, iu SO or 60 days. Pacific is selling at 40, for example. A call will be sold at 45 for 00 days for one per cent., or witb commission" $106 23. If tbe stock goes to 50, and the odds are fltty to one it wont, tbe purchaser of the call makes five hundred dollars, less bis outlay, and doubl commissions for buying and selling, in other words, about 1375. Ir the stoek vibrates between forty nd forty-one dollars per shure, or goes down, tbe poor moth who bas been fluttering about tbe candle ot speculation for thirty or sixty days finds bis financial wings (ioged to tbe extent of bis investment in tbe call. All of the risks besides are incurred as in tne case ol tbe put, bad faith, straw men, etc., etc. 2ow lor tbe "straddle" or "double privilege." It takes a small sized capitalist lor these ventures, lbe other inducements were for shop boys, clerks and sewing women; these "stradtlles" are for pretty store keepers who bave an ambitious itching to become speculators. and to be known on 'Change. These straddles cost from three to five hundred dollars, according to tbe stock desired. Tbey are called "double privileges" because tby em brace both a put and call. Take again the familiar instance of Pacific Mail. It ie sell ing at 40. A STRADDLE cio be bought at tbe market price, say, for four per cent., or $-100. This H lor tbe priTliege of putting it at 40, or for calling it at the same price within 60 days. Now tbe stock bas to go to 36 on tbe down course be fore you can ever gt your money backror to 44 on tbe upward tack, and then any error in judgment in buying in your stock at tbe decline, or selling it out at U e ad vance, is fatal to tbe speculation, figures, however, are paraded belore tbe public in the newspapers to show how much Smith and Jones made in one month by buy ing privileges, and exceptional advances ami declines are cited to make their arguments plausible . The principal dealers in these privilege formerly were such capitalists as itnsseii Sage, Daniel Drew, Stephen Alden, Dick Schell and Jay Gould. Nearly all have failed or crone out of the business, but Kussell Sge and tbo notorious Gould. Iu tbe p nie of TJ Aide tailed,-and Dick SheiS went back on all of his contracts. When tbe latter was approached by a poor dune, who asked him to- redeem one of bis New York Central tulip," Schell said : "I bave no money; why I even bad to borrow my wife's carriage to ride down town this morning!' Sublime audacity! Ilia indebtedness lor JiliOO was sold one month ago by tbe same poor victim for Daniel Drew bas retired from active speculation, arid it is rumored be in comparatively poor. Stephen Alden is bankrupt, and none of tbe big fish swim, escept 8age and Gould. Tbe former, while president of tho Pacific Mail Steamship. Company, was censured by Rufua Lfoichv the celebrated managing director, tor levng his duties in the board to go ouUiue to sinn "puts and ealls." Jay Gould siiil eelis bis privileges, but is considered to be iu tbe wholesale business. Rstail firms go to- bis boose, at the corner of Fifth avbnu and Forty-seventh street, in tbe morning and bargain with him for privileges on one, two or three thousand shares. He make a discount to these petty brokers, and they in turn split ui tbe puts aud calls into one hundred share lots and PEDDLE THEM OUT to their customers at a proüt. It is a notorious fact that when Gould or Sage have sold a large number of puts or call oa a certain stock, tbey manipulate tbe mark M so that there will be no fluctuations of any account until the time ol the privileges expire. Tneir enormoiu wealth permits them to do this. Now lor the small fry. Thero are probably a hundred of thfse in Wali, Broad, New street and Exchange place. Their circulars flood the country: be eveu publish small newspapers, which sro scattered broadcast over thw land, doing heaven knows iOw much m'-oh'ef. A ytU' p Cuban, only lü yeitr of age, was arrest-, the other day," at No. 6, Wall st reet, for dalvaudin a poor woman in a steck privilege, no mide a defense tbat he was a mir, or, and was discharged by the judge. The president of tbe stock exchange, Msjor George W. McLean, received a letter froiA a poor shop

tokrynd recover lor ner $100 ail her savior8 which hd been invested in a "call" in ov9 t these cCis. Sbe had clled for months11 vain for her bard-earned money. The trovei nlng commilUe ol tbe stock ex change barV 1 rieJ to put a stop to the practice of celling puis ana calls by their members, but in vain. Tbey, however, in their own body, bave thrown some safeguards around ihc practice. Frothingham, Tumbridge & Co., and many minor firms are now tbe leaders in furnishing cheap puts ank calls to tbe masses. Why, they will even sell a chance on twenty live or fifty shares of stock if you only want to tickle the bubble of speculation and not prick it wholly. Bulwer wrote tbat "a broker is a man who makes an income out ot other people's funds, a gleaner of stray extravagances, and by doing the publio tbe honor of living upon them may fairly be termed a little sort of state minister in bis way." Now I would suazest that some ol these parties should do the state some service upon the pleasant islands adjoining Manhattan, and thus be prevented from foi lowing out their business, which is nothing more or loss than deluding the unwary and trading upon the credulity of a noass of gullible loots who never die and one of whom Is born every minute. PENSACOLA'S PLAGUE. HEALTHFUL PROPERTIES OF THE LOCALITIES STRICT QUARANTINE HOW THE FEVER WAS INTRODUCED TEMPERATURE. A correspondent of tbe Inter-Ocean writes from Pen8acola: Tbe healthful properties of the cool, fresh water abundantly supplied by nature through thousands of gashing springs, the invariable fresh gulf breezs by day and land breezs by night, laden with the odors ot tbe vast pine forests tbat 6klrt the coast for a hundred mile in the interior, and the total absence of low, marshy, or malarious grounds, would seem to combine tue essential elements ot health and Ionirevitv to an eminent degree. This view of this case is fully supported by a record of her mean temperature, sanitary, and mortu ary statistics, for five years last past, which indicates that Pensacnla is by far tbe most healthful city in the United States, in proportion to her population. It is true ship or yellow lever has existed here iu summer, averaging for the last twenty years about one season in four, though always in a mild form, and of about two months' duration. Its prevalence, however, has in all cases been due to tbe absence of a well-regulated quarantine system, which, strange to say, the city authorities have hitherto failed to adopt, on tbe ground tbat its adoption and rigid enforcement would prove more detrimental to THE BUSINESS INTERESTS of the city than would the disease. This year, however, Commodore Cooper, of the United States Navy, now stationed bete, has taken the matter into charge, aud the efficacy of a rigid enforcement of the system during the present summer will be thoroughly testtd. From Information gathered from naval and army officers, and other disinterested sources, together with tbe absence of any known local cause of its origin, it seems a well-assured fact tbat a case of yellow or ship-fever bas never been known to originate here, and tbat it is not indigenous to this locality more than to St. Angustlne or F rnandina. Some ten days since yellow fever made Its appearance among the soldiers of the garrison at Fort Barrancas, situated fourteen miles south of Pensacola. Tbe fort ' is built upon low ground immediatelv on the gulf coast outside of Pensacola Bay, and commands the ship channel leading from tbe gulf thereto. Unlearning the fact, Commodore Cooper, now at tbe navy yard some five miles north of Barrancas, promptly adopted the most effective measures lor tbe relief of tbe sick. tbo protection of tbe healthy and RESTRICTION OF TH8 DISEASE to its present locality. The unaffected portion of the garrison have been removed across the channel to Fort Pickens, from whence, as well as from Barrancas and quarantine, all of which are about equally distant from- Pensacola, communication with the city is impossible, under the present rigid observance of tbe quarantine regulations. Tbe citizens entertain no fear whatever of tba-appearance of tbe disease within tbe city. The origin of tbe fever at Barrancas, as stated, is traced to a pilot, wno broueht i an infected1 ship from a Cuban port, and instead of passing directly up Santa Ros Sound to quarantine and remaining there himself, agreeable to regulations, he brought tbe ship to anchor in tt e channel, opposite and quite near the fort and grounds, changed bis wet for dry clothing, borrowed from one of tbe crew, came ashore to visit bis family,. who lived near tbo fort, and su-bsequeutiy engaged in cardplaying with some of tbe soldiers during the remaining hours ot tbe night. . As- a result of this piece of imprudence the fever made its appearance among the soldiers in iust ten days from tbat date, and tbe hapless pilot was promptly placed in irons by order of Commodore Cooper and given a free passage to tbe quarantine, where ho now remains A PRISONER,, deeply regretting his rash' and inexcusable act. Uunlike the Interior of east or middle Florida, especially the region ot tbe St. John's river, chills,. fever or other malarious or bilions diseases are entirely unknown to the coast region about Pensacola. Pneumonia, bronchial, and pulmouary affections are also strangers- here, except when brought by patients. In. which cases the di?eae invariably yields to the iofiuence of tbe climate, contrary to the prevaillag idea among physicians, ba-ed- upon the- theory tht tbe salt air ot the cuast is detrimental to pulmonary atlecti us. Here the physicians attribute tbe exception to this rule Co the dry, genial atmosphere of tiie gulf, alternating daily with the land breeze at night, bringing with it Certcin medical properties imparted by tbe immea; pine forests through which it passes. Some permanens and remarkable cases of chronic rheumatism piles and fistula,. are also reported to bave been afidcted here in a- comparatively bort period by atmospheric influences combined with fish diot the free use of the guVf waters by bathing, and other hydropathic uppliea-iions. Tbe mean temperature of Sm9 and July up to the prese&ti date,. tbe be tust period of tba year in this latitude, ia 83-100, the raujenry reaching 03 oa three, ccasionsooly during this period. The' cool and inrigoratiojr, gulf breexe coruiberacls tbe depressing Influences of tbe son's ravs. and recdera them much less otiecMonabla than in any of the inland chief ol tlife Northw-t during summer.

HISTORY OF THK HOUSE MR. BI(J BLOW SOME OF THE WORKS GREEK TTPE. The New York Evening Post furnishes the following account of the firm of Welch, Bigelow A Co., of the University press: There are ?ery few readers of American bxks who are not familiar with tbe imprint of the "University Press," for it it borne upon the title leaves of a large-proportion of tbe finest books published by the leading houses in this country. But there are fewer still, probably, who understand the private character ot this so widely known institution. Many people, knowing that its home is in Cambridge, Maas.. bave an indistinct notion that it is a part of' uarvaru university. Those who know tbe situation of the establishment with relerence to tbe college grounds are doubtless continued in this error. For error it is.no enterprise being more independent, and few surpassing it in prosperity. From a small begiuning it bas become one of the most respectable and extensive book making establishments in tbe country. The visitors to Harvard College can no3 tail to notice its "outward form," for it is an imposing building.'within easy sight and almost within a stone's throw of the college lawn, on tbe street which leads to Mt-Auburn Cemetery. About the j ear 1S23 Messrs. William Hilliard and Eliab W. Mttcalf set up a small printing office on Ilolyoke- street, which runs from the College Square towards tbe Charles river. Mr, Hilliard died soon aiterwards, and for several years Mr. Metcalf carried on the business alone. Ia 1S30 Mr. Charles Folsom, formerly librarian of tbe B.istoa Athemeum, became a partner of Mr. Metcalt. Two or three years therealter Mr. Metcalf retired, and fir. Folsom was the sole proprietor until 1S37. Then ' Messrs. Wells fc Thurston removed their stereotyping estahlisbment from Boston to Cambridge, and joined Mr. Folsom, the firm becoming Folsom, Wells & Thurston. Tbe first Adams priming press ever made was soon atter set up in tbeir room. A few years thereafter tbe firm met with serious losses acd failed. Their effects were sold by auction, and purchased by Metcalf, Keith & Nichols. This firm continued the business for one year when Mr. Keith retired. A new firm was then formed under tbe style of Metcali & Cr,, which continued until 18.37. Although the same name was retained until that date, many changes in tbe MEMBERSHIP 0rO2J FIRM were made. Soon after that Mr. Metcalf retired from business,, and Mr. A. K. P. Welch, Marshall T. Bigslow and Cephas P; Thayer reorganized the bouse as Welch, Bigekw it Co., which stle has since been retained, although Mr. Thayer retired in a lew vears after tho firm-was formed, and Mr. Welch died in 18m Mr. Welch was a remarkable man, and bis associate, Mr. Bigelow, was from boyhood familiar with every department of the book business. Mr. Welch first entered tbe printing oltice 01 Metcali iV Co., as an eaeineer to run their steam engine. Very soon he showed such an aptitude for improving machinery, and such a taste for printing tnat be was mad a oxember of the firn. Ue made several improvements in tbe Ariama press, and als gave Messrs. Hoe & Co. valuable suggestions in relation to the new stop- cylinder press. He invented an electrotype moulding press and a shaving machine, both of which a?e now in use in many, establishments besides the University Press. Ke- was a n atrial artist, and amona. other work we may mention tbat he deeiff'wd and executed tbe bead pieces an&ibe initials which iatroduce tbe chapter in Ticknor's "Iife odTresott." Probably, be did suore to elevrte tbe standard ot "dock printing In this country than any other, man during bis time. Mr.. Bigs-low came to tbe oäce in 1833, wbon only ten years of age, as an apprentice to-Mr. Charles Fol so a. Ue entered tbe firm- ot Metcalf & Co. when be was two nty-OM years old, and fnxo that tuae lor many years, bis chief employment va proof-reads ncr. ia which occupation be beeam famous among book men. In lM4 Harvard Collage conferred upon him the degree r d M. A. From the time of Mb. Welch's deatfi, Mr. Bigelow has been tbe sole proprietor and manager of tbe "University Pr 8." Early in 1865 the firm found their bus In ess crowdlDZ tbeiu and they purchased tbe old Brattle House building. Having. rei nodeled it and fitted it up with every convf nience for the business, they removed to it in September. There the fcosine-s grew v ery rapidly, and another enlargement wx9 'soon necessary. Besides, a large fire proof 1 warehouse was erected upon tbe premises, which, witb tbe spacious vaults for eiecorotpe plates, renders tbe larger part oi the valuable property remarkably said. THK BClLDiNO is arranged and furnished witb greai care. It contains fifteen Adams presses ajid five Hob's stop cylinder presses for printing, and three hydraulic presses for the printed sheetp. Tbe privting presses aro supplied witb steam power from two largs boilers, which al.-o heat the building in wiuter.

The electrotvpii'g depart ment is one of great interest to the visitor. This establishment ttuplova about three hundred bands in busy times and a large number . ol the workmen bave been in the employment of tbe Louse lor many yesre, We bave seen,

during this aeries of sketches, that the bookmakers bave varioos ways of doing business. That is, sornt of them make and sell only the books of t'iair own tublicatioa some do not iictuai.V make tr.e Looks oi their own publication, but bave them made py contract, some, in addition to bock making, do a large business in selling tbe book ot other houses, and are cal.ed "jobber.;" and, while some r do ixi uisil books at all, other publishers Ao a large trade in all kind of bcka at retail, aud, iu addition, Import them irom Europe to compete even with their own.

Bat a few exanples will sbsw the nature ot their work. Harris' "Insects of Massachusetts" was one of tbe firvt of the Ter7 fiD bocks printed by Welch", Bigelow ä Co.

We should not forget to remark here that they printed for tbe same bouse tbe Atlantic Monthly and onr Young Folks until tbey were transferred to other publishers, and here are very few readine peonle in JN'ew Sngland who were not familiar with the excellent typography as well as tbe literary merit of those magazines, a laree Dart' of the books of the same bouse under its late uiie, j. k. usuood b Cbn have been printed there, including that new and attractiveseries, the "L,Ittle Classics," edited by Kossiter Johnson.
