Intersegment sales and sales to affiliates are at prices comparable
to  unaffiliated  customer  sales.  Intersegment  operating  profit
related to intersegment sales is not significant.  Operating profit
is  total  revenue  less  operating  expenses,  excluding  interest
expense and interest income.  Depreciation and amortization include
certain  write-downs  of  property   and  equipment.   Identifiable
assets are those assets that are used in the operations.

NOTE C-DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On  March  3,  1998,  the Company made the decision  to  close  its
Stevcoknit  Fabrics division.  Accordingly, operating  results  for
this  segment  has been reclassified and reported  as  discontinued
operations.  The Company plans to sell the assets of the Stevcoknit
division,  and   expects to complete disposition of  this  business
during calendar year 1998.

In  connection with the decision to discontinue this business,  the
Company   has   recognized  a  loss  on  disposal  of  discontinued
operations  of  $21.1 million including an income  tax  benefit  of
$13.8  million.  The Company believes that it will recover the  net
book value of the assets of the Stevcoknit division.

The  assets of the discontinued business at March 28, 1988 and June
28, 1997  are as follows:

                           March 28, 1998   June 28, 1997

NOTE D-DEBT

On  August  25, 1997, the Company issued $150 million of  unsecured
ten-year senior notes at an interest rate of 9.625%, and obtained a
secured  five-year $100 million revolving line of credit.  The  net
proceeds of the senior notes, the initial borrowings under the  new
revolving  line  of  credit  and a capital  contribution  of  $49.7
million  were used to repay the long-term debt and current  amounts
payable  to  affiliate.    Other assets  are  deferred  loan  costs
primarily attributable to the unsecured senior notes.  These  costs
are being amortized over the life of the debt.

Due  to  the  restructuring and impairment charges made  to  income
related to discontinued operations in the most recent quarter,  the
Company  was  in  violation of two covenants of the revolving  loan
credit agreement with the four financial institutions participating
in the credit agreement.



NOTE D-DEBT--Continued

The  Company has secured waivers to the credit agreement  providing
for a grace period of three months.  During that period the Company
expects  to  reach  agreement to amend the covenants  so  that  the
Company  will  be in compliance.  Pending receipt of the  amendment
the  $68 million outstanding has been classified as current in  the
accompanying financial statements.

NOTE E-SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY

Delta  Mills Marketing, Inc. (the "Guarantor") does not comprise  a
material  portion  of  the  Company's assets  or  operations.   The
Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and has fully
and  unconditionally guaranteed the Company's payment of principal,
premium,  interest and liquidated damages, if any, on the Company's
senior  notes  (the  "Notes"), (the"Guarantee").   The  Guarantor's
liability  under  the  Guarantee is limited  to  such  amount,  the
payment  of  which would not have left the guarantor  insolvent  or
with  unreasonably  small capital at the  time  its  Guarantee  was
entered  into,  after giving effect to the incurrence  of  existing
indebtedness immediately prior to such time.

The  Guarantor is the sole subsidiary of the Company.   All  future
subsidiaries  of the Company will provide guarantees  identical  to
the  one  described in the preceding paragraph unless  such  future
subsidiaries  are  Receivables  Subsidiaries  (as  defined  in  the
indenture relating to the Notes).  Such additional guarantees  will
be joint and several with the Guarantee of the Guarantor.

The  Company  has  not presented separate financial  statements  or
other   disclosures  concerning  the  Guarantor   because   Company
management has determined that such information is not material  to
investors.

Summarized  financial information for the Guarantor is  as  follows

Item   2.    MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
             CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Effective for the fiscal year ending June 27, 1998, the Company has
adopted the segment reporting provisions of Financial Accounting
Standard 131.  This standard requires the Company to report segment
information for divisions which engage in business activity, whose
operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating
officer.  The Company has one segment in continuing operations:
Delta Mills Marketing Company which manufactures and sells woven
fabrics for apparel and home furnishings. The Company's other
operations include yarn sales to Delta Apparel, a segment of the
parent company, Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.  In the past these
sales were managed by Stevcoknit Fabrics Company.  Delta Apparel
will manage the Rainsford Plant, which will manufacture and sell
yarn to Delta Apparel..  The Rainsford Plant is managed by Delta
Apparel.  The Company also has one segment which is presented as
discontinued operations:  Stevcoknit Fabrics Company which
manufactures and sells knitted fabrics.

Net sales for the third quarter ended March 28, 1998 were  $81.1
million as compared to net sales of $88.9 million in the quarter
ended March 29, 1997. Sales at Delta Mills Marketing Company for
the most recent quarter declined $8.1 million from the comparable
quarter of fiscal 1997. Principal reasons for the decline in sales
were substantially fewer units of unfinished fabrics and fewer
units of cotton menswear fabrics being shipped in the most recent
quarter. The fewer units of menswear shipments were due to
deferments of shipments from some of the division's garment
manufacturing customers. The Company believes that these deferments
were caused by retailers' adjustments to inventories arising from
slower than anticipated retail demand for clothing during the
winter.  These deferred shipments have now been ordered shipped by
the division's customers.

Net income from continuing operations in the quarter ended March
28, 1998 was $3.0 million as compared to net income from continuing
operations of $5.3 million in the quarter ended March 29, 1997. Net
loss for the quarter ended March 28, 1998 was $19.5 million as
compared to net income of $4.1 million in the quarter ended March
29, 1997. During the quarter ended March 28, 1998, the Company made
the decision to close its Stevcoknit Fabrics division. The net loss
in the most recent quarter included pre-tax charges for anticipated
losses related to the disposal of Stevcoknit Fabrics of $35
million.

Gross profit margin from continuing operations was 17.9 % in the
most recent quarter as compared to gross profit margin from
continuing operations of  18.5 % in the same quarter of last fiscal
year. Operating profits declined by $2.6 million, due principally
to the lower volume being shipped. For the nine months ended March
28, 1998, sales of Delta Mills Marketing were 3% higher than for
the comparable period of last fiscal year. Gross margins and
operating profits were substantially the same in the most recent
nine month period as compared to the first nine months of the prior
fiscal year.

Due to the  restructuring and impairment charges made to income
related to discontinued operations in the most recent quarter, the
company was in violation of two covenants of the revolving loan
credit agreement with the four financial institutions participating
in the credit agreement. The Company has secured waivers to the
credit agreement providing for a grace period of three months.
During that period the Company expects to reach agreement to amend
the covenants so that the Company will be in compliance.  Pending
receipt of the amendment the $68 million outstanding has been
classified as current in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company believes that cash flow generated by its operations and
funds available under its current credit facilities will be
sufficient to service its debt, to satisfy its day-to-day working
capital requirements, to pay dividends, and to fund its planned
capital expenditures.
