The table gives the number of days intervening between any day in any month to a similar date in any other montn. To ascertain these intervening days, run the eye along the line designated by title of the month on the left hand, until it reaches its intersection by the column headed at the top, by the month in which the note matures, and the figures at the angle denote the number of days from the first of the respective months. To this add the day upon which the note matures, and from the sum subtract the date of the month from which it is reckoned.
A note falling due June 26th is offered for discount on March 10th; wanted, the number of days intervening before maturity.
