At our mills, chemical costs decreased approximately $2.3 million, or $9 per ton. Recycled fiber and virgin fiber costs increased approximately $10.2 million, or $69 per ton, and $5.6 million, or $51 per ton, respectively, over the prior year quarter. Freight expense increased $3.4 million due in part to higher volumes and pension expense increased $2.2 million over the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
