Help on nonstandard options

I can't get it: I am looking at the July 50 MTL put (+MGWSJ), which is a non-standard option (it controls 300 shares instead of 100) but there's also another July 50 MTL put (+MTLSJ) which is standard (and costs some 20 times more, but for 100 shares). What's the deal here?

Thanks.

The best way to find out would be to ask your broker directly. Even if you are using a discount broker they should be willing to answer your questions. Send them an email. If they can't answer your question, find a new broker who deals with options.

Can you buy a put option and pay the premium and the commission at the same time.
