Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-21

There have been several attempts in
the last few months to establish re-
liable "Put and Call" agency in Los
Angeles, but for some reason it never
has been a success until Mr.. Archi-
bald B. McCaw, of San Francisco,
came to our city and took charge of
the management. Mr.. McCaw is a
man of large experience in all branch
es of speculative business. He has
been broker in New York, Chicago,
st. Louis and San Francisco, az d
which he is not entirely familiar.
Since his place of business has been
known good many persons have
avaled themselves of the privilege Of
buying puts and calls, and many cases
large profits have been realized from
comparatively small risks. This is Il
way of speculating in which the oper-
ator Can only in any case lose very
small amount while the same time
the re is hardly at limit to the amount
which may be made in few days. A
certain amount is charged by the bro-
ker for buying put or call, in some
cases not more than one dollar share
is required, this is absolutely all that
is raised by the buyer while if the
stock shonld turn in the right iii &c
ton the difference bel tween the mar
ket and the purchasing price is imme-
diately made clear to the speculator.
Give Mr.. McCaw a call and he will
explain all with pleasure. Office cor
ner Spring and tt mple streets.
This evening the opera of Martha
will be Reproduced, and it will be a
fitting conclusion to prosperous sea-
son to the management, and will ever
be remembered with pleasant recol-
lections by our community. Madame
Fabbri has ingratia,ed herself in the
kindly sympathies of our citizens, and
while we give her credit fo- both mer-
it and enterprise, we cannot omit to
congratulate both her and the commu
nifty upon the excellence of the man.
agement Of the season, which SHOULD
t e accredited to Mr.. G. Jacoby, of the
Post, who acted as business manager,
and acquitted himself to the satisfac-
ton of the public and the success of
the Company. When the curtain
drops on Sunday night with the ap-
proval of the audience, as we know 1T
will, the thanks of our community
will be rendered to the troupe and the
management for rare and enjoyable
treat.
A more public spirited citizen does
not reside in our county than Hancock
M. Johnston. He has recently con.
tributed much toward the improve
ment of East Los Angeles, and
short time since erected fine resi-
dence there, and inaugurated other
improvements. The result of his eff
forts is that property in that locality
is IN demand, and having received a
good offer he has just sold his newly
erected house to Major E. M. Ross.
He proposes to erect another at the
head of Downey Avenue, near the
Park.
Manager Wood must be- satisfied
with the opening of his new Opera
House., as it was filled to its entire
seating capacity, last evening, and in
the galleries the standing room was
fully occupied. The performances, as
far as we saw them, were of the high
est order of the variety school. If a
good beginning is an Indication of
good end, the Colonel can be congrat-
ulated.
The Commissioner of the General
Laud Office has decided in the matter
of the survey of the Rancho Jurupa
Abel Stearns, confirmee, rejecting the
original survey, and directing that a
new one he made to conform with the
decree of confirmation.
