By Jennifer Chiou

New York, July 25 - Morgan Stanley priced $3.65 million of 0% auto-callable securities due Feb. 10, 2009 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the closing value of the index is less than the initial value on five determination dates, the securities will automatically be redeemed at $10.39 per $10.00 security on Nov. 5, 2007, the first determination date; $10.78 on Feb. 5, 2008, the second determination date; $11.16 on May 5, 2008, the third determination date; $11.55 on Aug. 5, 2008, the fourth determination date; and $11.94 on Nov. 5, 2008, the fifth determination date.

If the securities are not called, the payout at maturity will be $12.33 if the index shows a negative return. If the trigger level, 120% of the initial index value, is hit during the life of the notes, investors will lose 1% for each 1% index gain. Otherwise the payout is par.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent.
