By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Oct. 26 - HSBC USA Inc. priced a $704,000 issue of 10.5% down & in worst of reverse convertible notes due Sept. 26, 2008 linked to two stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying securities are the common stocks of General Electric Co. and Proctor & Gamble Co.

Interest is payable monthly.

The payout will be based on the performance of both reference assets during the life of the notes.
