New York, Feb. 22 - Morgan Stanley priced a $7.83 million issue of 0% review notes due March 4, 2010 linked to the S&P 500 Financials index via JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called at increasing premiums if the level of the index is greater than or equal to the call level on any of three review dates. On all review dates, the call level will be equal to the initial level.

The redemption amount will be par plus 17.55% if the notes are called on Feb. 27, 2009, par plus 26.325% if called on Aug. 27, 2009 and par plus 35.1% if called on March 1, 2010.
