How to convert Char  to Float? What wrong ?

julia> eltype(sort(unique(dane[:,4]))[3])
Char

julia> (sort(unique(dane[:,4]))[3])
"-.097"

julia> convert(Float64(sort(unique(dane[:,4]))[3]))
ERROR: MethodError: `convert` has no method matching convert(::Type{Float64}, 
::UTF8String)
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor Float64(...),
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.
Closest candidates are:
  call{T}(::Type{T}, ::Any)
  convert(::Type{Float64}, ::Int8)
  convert(::Type{Float64}, ::Int16)
  ...
 in call at essentials.jl:56
