Spartanburg reports a bleak 1990 for textiles with analysts noting weak consumer demand and high imports. Patti Margarone of Raymond James warns the first half of 1991 remains uncertain while mills cut hours and close plants to curb inventories. The American Textile Manufacturers Institute cites job losses and full industry decline, with South Carolina laying off 3,500 workers and a further drop in average weekly hours. Capital spending also fell 7 percent to 2.15 billion dollars.
