FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.

New York, March 24.-Business on the stock exchange today was char acterized by intervals of extreme dullness and irregular price changes, trading evidently being influenced by yesterdays sharp furry in money.
 Greatest activity was manifested in the final hour, when further sub- stantial advances in motors and their speciaities lifted the entire list, rails excepted, to highest quotations of the day, a strong tone ruling at the close.
 Call loans opened and renewed at g per cent, rise of per cent. over the recent initial rate, advancing later to F per cent, or two per cent. under yesterdays maximum. Time money was quotably unaltered, but in scant supply, except for renewals :.
 Foreign exchange offered some en- couragement to the long account; the British rate advancing to $3.S6 3-4 for demand bills, representing the high mark so far this year. Other allied exchanges were irregular. also rates to northern Europe. ss
 Dealings in stocks were extremely professional and desultory until the late movement in specialties. General Motors maintained it's reputation as an uncertain quantity, an early gain of g points being followed by a reacA ton or 10 ana rally or 25, the final price of 3S4 representing net gain of IS points,.
 Stutz Motor continued to move against the shorts. advancing to 262, a new high record and a; gain of. 34 points, while Stromberg Carbureton, controlled by Stutz interests, shot up IS points to s4, also a new maximum. Steels, equipments and oils joined in the late advance, variable reactions of the mid-session being replaced by net gains of one to- five points. Sales amounted to 1,275,ooo shares.
 Trading in bonds was relatively light, most of the Liberty issues and both classes of Victory notes easing moderately. Railroad and industrial bonds also made nominal recessions. Total sales. par value. aggregated S11, 200, 900.
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

Estimating the Depth of sIudss in vsss

An ingenious method of'measurirg the depth of sludHe in deep sedimenta- ton tanks Is employed at the sewage disposal works Of Fitchburg. Mass. says a Canadian writer. The measure ments are made by means of a pitcher pump and 2s feet of 1-inch rubhkr hose, marked in l-foot lengths. The pump is screwed to 3-foot plank and attached to the hose by a union coup ling. In making measurements the plank is placed across the top Of gas vent and the hose pushed Into the tank until it is near the supposed sludge level. The hose is then lowered an inch at a time. Between each shift sufficient pumping is done to insure q complete change of water in the hose When the sludge level is reached. the pump will raise sludge- The length of the hose below the chimney top Is then noted, and as the distance from top of chimney to bottom of tank 5h known it Is an easy matter 10 estimate the depth of the sludge.
