                                Based on the Performance of a Basket of Four Commodities

The amount of interest payable on the notes will be linked to year-over-year changes in the Consumer Price Index. The
notes will pay at maturity the principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the
performance of a weighted basket of four physical commodities comprised of aluminum, copper, IPE Brent blend crude oil
and zinc, each of which we refer to as a basket commodity, and collectively as the basket commodities, as determined on
six specified determination dates. In no event however will the payment at maturity be less than the principal amount of
$1,000.

o   The principal amount and issue price of each note is $1,000.

o   The amount of interest payable on the notes will be linked to year-over-year changes in the non-seasonally adjusted
    U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, which we refer to as the Consumer Price
    Index or CPI, as described in this pricing supplement. Interest will be paid monthly beginning February 6, 2006.

o   At maturity, you will receive the principal amount of $1,000 per note plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any,
    based on the performance of a weighted basket of commodities. The supplemental redemption amount will equal (i)
    $1,000 times (ii) the basket performance factor times (iii) 100%, which we refer to as the participation rate.

o   The basket performance factor will equal the sum of (i) the aluminum performance value, (ii) the copper performance
    value, (iii) the IPE Brent blend crude oil performance value and (iv) the zinc performance value, each as measured
    over six specified determination dates and determined on the final determination date.

    o   The performance value for each basket commodity will equal (i) the percentage change in the final average price
        from the initial strike price for such basket commodity times (ii) the basket weighting for such basket
        commodity, as set forth in this pricing supplement.

        >   The initial strike price for each basket commodity will equal the per unit closing bid price of such basket
            commodity as displayed on the relevant Reuters page on the day we price the notes for initial sale to the
            public.

        >   The final average price for each basket commodity will equal the arithmetic average of such basket
            commodity's per unit closing bid prices as displayed on the relevant Reuters page on January 15, 2011,
            February 15, 2011, March 15, 2011, April 15, 2011, May 15, 2011 and June 15, 2011, which we refer to as the
            determination dates.

o   If the basket performance factor is less than or equal to zero, you will receive only the principal amount of $1,000
    and will not receive any supplemental redemption amount.

o   Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket commodities.

o   The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.

o   The CUSIP number for the notes is 61746SBU2.

                                              SUMMARY OF PRICING SUPPLEMENT

      The following summary describes the notes we are offering to you in general terms only. You should read the
summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this pricing supplement and in the
accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set
forth in "Risk Factors."

      The notes offered are medium-term debt securities of Morgan Stanley. The return on the notes is linked to the
performance of a weighted basket of four commodities composed of aluminum, copper, IPE Brent blend crude oil and zinc.
These notes combine features of a debt investment and a commodity investment by offering floating interest payments
based on year-over-year changes in the CPI and, at maturity, 100% principal protection of the issue price with the
opportunity to participate in the upside potential of the underlying basket.

Each note costs $1,000          We, Morgan Stanley, are offering you Inflation-Coupon/Commodity-Linked Capital-Protected
                                Notes due July 6, 2011, Based on the Performance of a Basket of Four Commodities, which
                                we refer to as the notes. The principal amount and issue price of each note is $1,000.

                                The original issue price of the notes includes the agent's commissions paid with respect
                                to the notes and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. The cost of
                                hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration
                                for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. The fact that the
                                original issue price of the notes reflects these commissions and hedging costs is
                                expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the notes. See "Risk
                                Factors--The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original
                                issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices" and "Description of
                                Notes--Use of Proceeds and Hedging."

Interest linked to changes      We will pay interest on the notes at a rate linked to year-over-year changes in the
in the CPI                      non-seasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban
                                Consumers, which we refer to as the Consumer Price Index or the CPI, reported monthly by
                                the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, which we refer to as the
                                BLS, and published on Bloomberg CPURNSA or any successor service.

                                The CPI for a particular month is published during the following month. The CPI is a
                                measure of the average change in consumer prices over time for a fixed market basket of
                                goods and services, including food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation, charges
                                for doctors' and dentists' services and drugs. In calculating the index, price changes
                                for the various items are averaged together with weights that represent their importance
                                in the spending of urban households in the United States. The contents of the market
                                basket of goods and services and the weights assigned to the various items are updated
                                periodically by the BLS to take into account changes in consumer expenditure patterns.
                                The CPI is expressed in relative terms in relation to a time base reference period for
                                which the level is set at 100.0. The base reference period for these notes is the
                                1982-1984 average.

                                Interest will be paid monthly beginning February 6, 2006. The interest rate for each
                                monthly interest payment period during the term of the notes will be determined on the
                                6th of each month, beginning February 6, 2006, which we refer to as the interest
                                determination dates. The interest rate for the notes for each interest payment period
                                will be the rate determined as of the applicable interest determination date pursuant to
                                the following formula:

                                                                 CPI(t)--CPI(t-12)
                                      Interest Rate      =      -------------------
                                                                    CPI(t-12)



                                where:


                                CPI(t) = CPI for the applicable reference month, as published on Bloomberg CPURNSA; and

                                CPI(t-12) = CPI for the twelfth month prior to the applicable reference month, as
                                published on Bloomberg CPURNSA.

                                                          PS-3


========================================================================================================================



                                CPI(t) for any interest determination date is the CPI for the third calendar month prior
                                to the month of such interest determination date, as published and reported in the
                                second calendar month prior to such interest determination date, which we refer to as
                                the reference month. For example, for the interest payment period from and including
                                January 6, 2006 to but excluding February 6, 2006, CPI(t) will be the CPI for October 2005
                                (the reference month), and CPI(t-12) will be the CPI for October 2004 (which is the CPI
                                for the twelfth month prior to the reference month). The CPI for October 2005 is
                                expected to be reported by the BLS and published on Bloomberg CPURNSA in November 2005,
                                and the CPI for October 2004 was reported and published in November 2004.

                                In no case will the interest rate for the notes for any monthly interest payment period
                                be less than the minimum interest rate of 0.00% per annum. The amount of interest
                                payable on the notes on each interest payment date will be calculated on an
                                actual/actual day count basis.

                                On PS-9, we have provided examples of hypothetical interest payments on the notes and a
                                table of monthly historical CPI levels for the period October 1998 through October 2005.
                                You cannot predict future CPI levels based on its historical performance.

The basket                      We have designed the notes to provide investors with interest payments that are tied to
                                increases in inflation and exposure to a group of commodities whose performance has
                                historically been highly correlated to global industrial economic activity. The
                                following table sets forth the basket commodities, the initial strike price for each
                                basket commodity, the Reuters Page for each basket commodity and the weightings of each
                                basket commodity in the total basket value:

                                At maturity, for each note that you hold, you will receive the principal amount of
                                $1,000 and the final monthly interest payment, if any, plus a supplemental redemption
                                amount, if any, based on the performance of the weighted basket of commodities. The
                                supplemental redemption amount will equal (i) $1,000 times (ii) the basket performance
                                factor times (iii) 100% which we refer to as the participation rate, provided that the
                                supplemental redemption amount will not be less than zero.

                                The basket performance factor will equal the sum of the basket performance values,
                                whether positive or negative, for each basket commodity. The performance value for each
                                basket commodity will equal the percentage change, whether positive or negative, in the
                                final average price for such commodity, over its respective initial strike price times
                                the basket weighting for such basket commodity. The initial strike price for each basket
                                commodity will be determined on the day we price the notes for initial sale to the
                                public. The final average price for each basket commodity will equal the arithmetic

                                insufficient performance values by certain commodities could wholly offset positive
                                performance values by other commodities. If the basket performance factor, which is the

                        HYPOTHETICAL PAYOUTS AT MATURITY ON THE NOTES AND INTEREST RATE PAYMENTS

Payouts on the Notes
--------------------

      At maturity, if the basket performance factor is greater than zero, for each $1,000 principal amount of notes that
you hold, you will receive a supplemental redemption amount in addition to the principal amount of $1,000. The
supplemental redemption amount will be calculated on the final determination date and is equal to (i) $1,000 times (ii)
the basket performance factor times (iii) 100%, which we refer to as the participation rate.

      Presented below are hypothetical examples showing how the payout on the notes, including the supplemental
redemption amount, is calculated. The examples below exclude the final monthly interest payment, if any, payable at
maturity.

All the commodity performance values are positive.

                                                                                                                  10.000%

      The final average price of each basket commodity in the above example is 10% higher than its initial strike price
and, accordingly, the basket performance factor is 10%. The Supplemental Redemption Amount is calculated as follows:

Supplemental Redemption Amount per note     =   $1,000   x    10%     x     100%   =    $100

      Therefore, in the hypothetical example above, the total payment at maturity per note will equal $1,100, which is
the sum of the principal amount of $1,000 and a supplemental redemption amount of $100.

Supplemental Redemption Amount per note     =    $1,000   x    -0.964% (less than zero)   x    100%    =    $0

      In the above example, the final average prices of two basket commodities--copper and zinc (with a combined
weighting of 45.18% of the basket)--are each 10% higher than their respective initial strike prices, but the final
average prices of the other two basket commodities-- aluminum and IPE brent blend crude oil (with a heavier combined
weighting of 54.82%)--are each 10% lower than the initial strike prices for those basket commodities. Accordingly,
although two of the basket commodities have positive performance values and two have negative performance values as of
the final determination date, the basket performance factor is less than zero due in part to the weighting of the
commodities within

Interest Rate Payments on the Notes

      The interest rate for the notes being offered by this pricing supplement for each interest payment period during
the term of the notes will be the rate determined as of the applicable interest reset date pursuant to the following
formula:

                                                   CPI(t)--CPI(t-12)
                             Interest Rate    =    ----------------
                                                      CPI(t-12)
where:

CPI(t) = CPI for the applicable reference month, as published on Bloomberg CPURNSA; and
CPI(t-12) = CPI for the twelfth month prior to the applicable reference month, as published on Bloomberg CPURNSA

      Provided below are historical levels of the CPI as reported by the BLS for the period from October 1998 to October
2005. Also, provided below are the hypothetical interest rates for the period from January 2000 to December 2005 that
would have resulted from the historical levels of the CPI presented below: We obtained the historical information
included below from Bloomberg Financial Markets and we believe such information to be accurate.

      For example, The hypothetical interest rate payable on the notes for the February 2003 interest payment period
would have been 2.20% per annum. This hypothetical interest rate is calculated by inserting the following CPI levels
into the interest rate formula described above under "Interest Rate":

      CPI(t) = 181.3, which is equal to the CPI level for November 2002, which as the third calendar month prior to the
interest reset date of February 2003, would be the reference month; and

      CPI(t-12) = 177.4, which is equal to the CPI level for November 2001, the twelfth calendar month prior to the
reference month for the interest reset date of February 2003,

      The historical levels of the CPI should not be taken as an indication of future levels of the CPI, and no
assurance can be given as to the level of the CPI for any reference month. The hypothetical interest rates that follow
are intended to illustrate the effect of general trends in the CPI on the amount of interest payable to you on the
notes. However, the CPI may not increase or decrease over the term of the notes in accordance with any of the trends
depicted by the historical information in the table below, and the size and frequency of any fluctuations in the CPI
level over the term of the notes, which we refer to as the volatility of the CPI, may be significantly different than
the volatility of the CPI indicated in the table. As a result, the hypothetical interest rates depicted in the table
below should not be taken as an indication of the actual interest rates that will be paid on the interest payment dates
over the term of the notes.

      The notes are not secured debt and investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket

whether the notes are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them.

The interest rate on the        We will pay interest on the principal amount of each note at a rate linked to

                                your investment in the notes (the effective yield to maturity) may be less than the
                                amount that would be paid on an ordinary debt security. The interest payments on the
                                notes, if any, and return of only the principal amount at maturity may not compensate
                                you for the effects of inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over
                                time.

                                If there are only minimal increases, no changes or decreases in the monthly CPI measured
                                year over year, the interest rate on the notes will be below what we would currently
                                expect to pay as of the date of this pricing supplement if we issued a debt instrument

                                interest payment for the applicable interest payment period. Similarly. if the CPI for
                                the same month in successive years decreases, which is likely to occur when there is
                                deflation, investors in the notes will not receive an interest payment for the

                                and such volatility may occur in the future. Fluctuations and trends in the CPI that

                                Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell
                                your notes prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your notes at a
                                substantial discount from the principal amount if at the time of sale or on earlier
                                determination dates the prices for certain or all of the commodities in the basket are
                                at, below or not sufficiently above their respective initial strike prices or if market
                                interest rates rise.

                                You cannot predict the future performance of the basket commodities based on their
                                historical performance. We cannot guarantee that the basket performance factor will be

                                that basket commodity and therefore its price at any such time. These factors may affect
                                the prices for the basket commodities and the value of your notes in varying ways and
                                may cause the prices of the commodities to move in inconsistent directions and at
                                inconsistent rates.

Specific commodities prices     High-Grade Primary Aluminum
are volatile and are affected
by numerous factors specific    The price of aluminum is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of
to each market                  aluminum, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions
                                and by currency exchange rates. Demand for aluminum is significantly influenced by the
                                level of global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors which are particularly
                                important to demand for aluminum include the automobile, packaging and construction
                                sectors. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to
                                inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are
                                substitutes for aluminum in various applications. Their availability and price will also
                                affect demand for aluminum. The supply of aluminum is widely spread around the world,
                                and the principal factor dictating the smelting of such aluminum is the ready
                                availability of inexpensive power. The supply of aluminum is also affected by current
                                and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new smelters.
                                Other factors influencing supply include droughts, transportation problems and shortages
                                of power and raw materials.

                                global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors which are particularly important
                                to demand for copper include the electrical and construction sectors. In recent years
                                demand has been supported by strong consumption from newly industrializing countries due
                                to their copper-intensive economic growth and infrastructure development. An additional,
                                but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to
                                changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are substitutes for copper in
                                various applications. Their availability and price will also affect demand for copper.
                                Apart from the United States, Canada and Australia, the majority of copper concentrate
                                supply (the raw material) comes from outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation
                                and Development countries. In previous years, copper supply has been affected by
                                strikes, financial problems and terrorist activity.

                                IPE Brent Blend Crude Oil

                                The price of IPE brent blend crude oil futures is primarily affected by the global
                                demand for and supply of crude oil, but is also influenced significantly from time to
                                time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Demand for refined petroleum
                                products by consumers, as well as the agricultural, manufacturing and transportation
                                industries, affects the price of crude oil. Crude oil's end-use as a refined product is
                                often as transport fuel, industrial fuel and in-home heating fuel. Potential for
                                substitution in most areas exists, although considerations including relative cost often
                                limit substitution levels. Because the precursors of demand for petroleum products are
                                linked to economic activity, demand will tend to reflect economic conditions. Demand is
                                also influenced by government regulations, such as environmental or consumption
                                policies. In addition to general economic activity and demand, prices for crude oil are
                                affected by political events, labor activity and, in particular, direct government
                                intervention (such as embargos) or supply disruptions in major oil producing regions of
                                the world. Such events tend to affect oil prices worldwide, regardless of the location
                                of the event. Supply for crude oil may increase or decrease depending on many factors.
                                These include production decisions by the Organization of Oil and Petroleum Exporting
                                Countries and other crude oil producers. In the event of sudden disruptions in the
                                supplies of oil, such as those caused by war, natural events, accidents or acts of
                                terrorism, prices of oil futures contracts could become extremely volatile and
                                unpredictable. Also, sudden and dramatic changes in the futures market may occur, for
                                example, upon a cessation of hostilities that may exist in countries producing oil, the
                                introduction of new or previously withheld supplies into the market or the introduction
                                of substitute products or commodities.

                                Special High-Grade Zinc

                                The price of zinc is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of zinc, but
                                is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by
                                currency exchange rates. Demand for zinc is significantly influenced by the level of
                                global industrial economic activity. The galvanized steel industrial sector is
                                particularly important to demand for zinc given that the use of zinc in the manufacture
                                of galvanized steel accounts for a significant percentage of world-wide zinc demand. The
                                galvanized steel sector is in turn heavily dependent on the automobile and construction
                                sectors. Growth in the production of galvanized steel will drive zinc demand. An
                                additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in
                                response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. The supply of zinc
                                concentrate (the raw material) is dominated by Australia, North America and Latin
                                America. The supply of zinc is also affected by current and previous price levels, which
                                will influence investment decisions in new mines and smelters. Low prices for zinc in
                                the early 1990s tended to discourage such investments.

Changes in the value of         Price movements in the basket commodities may not correlate with each other. At a time
one or more of the basket       when the price of one or more of the basket commodities increases, the price of one or
commodities may offset          more of the other basket commodities may increase to a lesser extent or may even
each other                      decline. Therefore, in calculating the basket performance factor, increases in the value
                                of one or more of the basket commodities may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser
                                increases or declines in the value of one or more of the other basket commodities. In
                                addition, the basket is not equally weighted among the basket commodities. Significant
                                decreases in the prices of a more heavily weighted commodity could moderate or wholly
                                offset increases in the prices of the less heavily weighted commodities.

                                You can review a table of the historical per unit closing prices of each of the basket
                                commodities for each calendar quarter in the period from January 1, 2000 through

                                above) in this pricing supplement under "Description of Notes--Historical Information"
                                and "--Historical Commodities Graph." You cannot predict the future performance of any
                                of the basket commodities or of the basket as a whole, or whether increases in the
                                prices of any of the basket commodities will be offset by decreases in the prices of
                                other basket commodities, based on their historical performance. In addition, there can
                                be no assurance that the final average prices of any of the basket commodities will be
                                higher than their initial strike prices, or that the sum of the performance values of
                                the basket commodities will be positive. If the basket performance factor is zero or
                                less, you will receive at maturity only the principal amount of the notes you hold.

Investing in the notes is       Because the basket performance factor is based on the average of the prices of the
not equivalent to investing     basket commodities on six determination dates over the final six months of the notes, it
in the basket commodities       is possible for the final average price of any of the basket commodities to be lower
                                than the initial strike price of such basket commodity even if the price of the basket
                                commodity on the final determination date is higher than the initial strike price for
                                such commodity. A decrease in the price of a basket commodity on any one determination
                                date could more than offset any increases in the price of such basket commodity on any
                                other determination dates.

There are risks relating        The closing prices of three of the four basket commodities--copper, aluminum and
to trading of basket            zinc--will be determined by reference to the per unit U.S. dollar cash bid prices of
commodities on the London       contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange, which we refer to as the LME. The LME is
Metal Exchange                  a principals' market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to the
                                over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets. For example,
                                there are no daily price limits on the LME, which would otherwise restrict the extent of
                                daily fluctuations in the prices of LME contracts. In a declining market, therefore, it
                                is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading
                                day or over a period of trading days. In addition, a contract may be entered into on the
                                LME calling for delivery on any day from one day to three months following the date of
                                such contract and for monthly delivery in any of the next 16 to 24 months (depending on
                                the commodity) following such third month, in contrast to trading on futures exchanges,
                                which call for delivery in stated delivery months. As a result, there may be a greater
                                risk of a concentration of positions in LME contracts on particular delivery dates,
                                which in turn could cause temporary aberrations in the prices of LME contracts for
                                certain delivery dates.

                                If such aberrations occur on any of the determination dates, the per unit U.S. dollar
                                cash bid prices used to determine the closing price of copper, aluminum and zinc, and

                                            Date with respect to any Basket Commodity is postponed so that it falls less
                                            than two scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, the
                                            Maturity Date will be the second scheduled Trading Day following the latest
                                            final Determination Date with respect to any Basket Commodity so postponed.

                                            Determination Date pursuant to the following formula:

                                                                            CPI(t)-CPI(t-12)

                                            In no case will the Interest Rate for the Notes for any monthly Interest
                                            Payment Period be less than the Minimum Interest Rate or more than the
                                            Maximum Interest Rate. The amount of interest payable on the Notes on each
                                            Interest Payment Date will be calculated on an actual/actual day count

Interest Determination Dates............    Each Interest Reset Date

Interest Reset Period...................    Monthly

Consumer Price Index or CPI.............    The non-seasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index
                                            for All Urban Consumers, reported monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
                                            of the U.S. Department of Labor (the "BLS"), and published on Bloomberg
                                            CPURNSA or any successor service.

                                            In this "Description of Notes," references to the CPI will include any
                                            Substitute Index, unless the context requires otherwise.

CPI(t)....................................  CPI for the applicable Reference Month, as published on Bloomberg CPURNSA
                                            and reported in the second calendar month prior to the applicable Interest
                                            Determination Date.

                                            If by 3:00 p.m. on any Interest Determination Date the CPI is not published
                                            on Bloomberg CPURNSA for any relevant month, but has otherwise been
                                            published by the BLS, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as the
                                            Calculation Agent, will determine the CPI as reported by the BLS for such
                                            month using such other source as on its face, after consultation with us,
                                            appears to accurately set forth the CPI as reported by the BLS.

CPI(t-12).................................  CPI for the twelfth month prior to the applicable Reference Month, as
                                            published on Bloomberg CPURNSA and reported in the calendar month following
                                            such month.

                                            In calculating CPI(t) and CPI(t-12), the Calculation Agent will use the most
                                            recently available value of the CPI determined as described above on the
                                            applicable Interest Determination Date, even if such value has been adjusted
                                            from a prior reported value for the relevant month. However, if a value of
                                            CPI(t) and CPI(t-12) used by the Calculation Agent on any Interest
                                            Determination Date to determine the Interest Rate on the Notes (an "initial
                                            CPI") is subsequently revised by the BLS, the Calculation Agent will
                                            continue to use the initial CPI, and the Interest Rate determined on such
                                            Interest Determination Date will not be revised.

                                            If the CPI is rebased to a different year or period and the 1982-1984 CPI is
                                            no longer used, the base reference period for the Notes will continue to be
                                            the 1982-1984 reference period as long as the 1982-1984 CPI continues to be
                                            published.

Reference Month.........................    The third calendar month prior to the month of the applicable Interest
                                            Determination Date.

Discontinuance of the Consumer
  Price Index; Alternation of
  Method of Interest Rate Calculation...    If, while the Notes are outstanding, the CPI is discontinued or
                                            substantially altered, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole
                                            discretion, the Calculation Agent will determine the Interest Rate on the
                                            Notes by reference to the applicable substitute index that is chosen by the
                                            Secretary of the Treasury for the Department of The Treasury's
                                            Inflation-Linked Treasuries as described at 62 Federal Register 846-874
                                            (January 6, 1997) or, if no such securities are outstanding, the substitute
                                            index will be determined by the

                                            (such index being referred to herein as a "Substitute Index"); provided that
                                            the procedure for determining the resulting Interest Rate is
                                            administratively acceptable to the Calculation Agent.

                                            to $1,000 plus the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any, as determined by
                                            the Calculation Agent.

                                            We shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to (i) provide written notice
                                            to the Trustee and to The Depository Trust Company, which we refer to as

                                            Basket Performance Factor times (iii) the Participation Rate; provided that
                                            the Supplemental Redemption Amount will not be less than zero. The
                                            Calculation Agent will calculate the Supplemental Redemption Amount on the
                                            final Determination Date.

Basket Performance Factor...............    The Basket Performance Factor is a percentage that is the sum of the
                                            performance values for each of the Basket Commodities. The Basket
                                            Performance Factor is described by the following formula:

                                                                     Aluminum Performance Value

                                            In certain circumstances, the Basket Performance Factor will be based on an
                                            alternate calculation of the Final Average Price for a Basket Commodity, as
                                            described under "--Fallback Reference Dealer Determination."

Participation Rate......................    100%

Aluminum Performance Value..............    The Aluminum Performance Value is (i) a fraction, the numerator of which
                                            will be the Final Average Aluminum Price minus the Initial Aluminum Strike
                                            Price and the denominator of which will be the Initial Aluminum Strike
                                            Price, times (ii) the Aluminum Basket Weighting. The Aluminum Performance
                                            Value is described by the following formula, and will be determined on the
                                            final Determination Date:

Historical Commodities Graph............    The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the Basket
                                            (assuming that each of the Basket Commodities is weighted as described in
                                            "--Basket" above at November 28, 2005). The graph covers the period from
                                            January 1, 2000 through November 28, 2005. The graph does not attempt to
                                            show your expected return on an investment in the Notes. The historical
                                            performance of the Basket and the Basket Commodities should not be taken as
                                            an indication of their future performance.

 


Use of Proceeds and Hedging.............    The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Notes will be used for
                                            general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our
                                            obligations under the Notes through one or more of our subsidiaries. The
                                            original issue price of the Notes includes the Agent's Commissions (as shown
                                            on the cover page of this pricing supplement) paid with respect to the Notes
                                            and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. The cost of hedging
                                            includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries expect to realize in
                                            consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging
                                            transactions. Since hedging our obligations entails risk and may be
                                            influenced by market forces beyond our or our subsidiaries' control, such
                                            hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than initially
                                            projected, or could result in a loss. See also "Use of Proceeds" in the
                                            accompanying prospectus.

                                            On or prior to the date we price the Notes for initial sale to the public,
                                            we, through our subsidiaries or others, expect to hedge our anticipated
                                            exposure in connection with the Notes by taking positions in the Basket
                                            Commodities, in futures or options contracts on the Basket Commodities
                                            listed on major securities markets, or positions in any other available
                                            securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such
                                            hedging. Such purchase activity could potentially increase the value of the
                                            Basket Commodities, and, therefore, the value at which the Basket
                                            Commodities must close on the Determination Dates before you would receive
                                            at maturity a payment that exceeds the principal amount of the Notes. In
                                            addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge
                                            position

========================================================================================================================



                                            throughout the life of the Notes, including on Determination Dates, by
                                            purchasing and selling the Basket Commodities or futures or options
                                            contracts on the Basket Commodities listed on major securities markets or
                                            positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish
                                            to use in connection with such hedging activities, including by selling any
                                            such securities or instruments on the Determination Dates. We cannot give
                                            any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of the
                                            Basket Commodities and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the Basket
                                            Commodities on the Determination Dates or the payment that you will receive
                                            at maturity.

Supplemental Information Concerning
  Plan of Distribution..................    Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the U.S.
                                            distribution agreement referred to in the prospectus supplement under "Plan
                                            of Distribution," the Agent, acting as principal for its own account, has
                                            agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the principal amount of
                                            Notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. The Agent proposes
                                            initially to offer the Notes directly to the public at the public offering
                                            price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. The Agent may
                                            allow a concession not in excess of       % per Note to other dealers, which
                                            may include Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited and Bank Morgan
                                            Stanley AG. After the initial offering, the Agent may vary the offering
                                            price and other selling terms from time to time.

                                            We expect to deliver the Notes against payment therefor in New York, New
                                            York on       2005, which is the      scheduled Business Day following the
                                            date of this pricing supplement and of the pricing of the Notes. Under Rule
                                            15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are
                                            required to settle in three Business Days, unless the parties to any such
                                            trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade
                                            Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding Business Day will be
                                            required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in
                                            Business Days (T+       ), to specify alternative settlement arrangements
                                            to prevent a failed settlement.

                                            In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, the Agent may engage in
                                            transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
                                            Notes. Specifically, the Agent may sell more Notes than it is obligated to
                                            purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in
                                            the Notes for its own account. The Agent must close out any naked short
                                            position by purchasing the Notes in the open market. A naked short position
                                            is more likely to be created if the Agent is concerned that there may be
                                            downward pressure on the price of the Notes in the open market after pricing
                                            that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an
                                            additional means of facilitating the offering, the Agent may bid for, and
                                            purchase, Notes in the open market to stabilize the price of the Notes. Any
                                            of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Notes
                                            above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market
                                            price of the Notes. The Agent is not required to engage in these activities,
                                            and may end any of these activities at any time. An affiliate of the Agent
                                            has entered into a hedging transaction with us in connection with this
                                            offering of Notes. See "--Use of Proceeds and Hedging" above.

                                            General

                                            No action has been or will be taken by us, the Agent or any dealer that
                                            would permit a public offering of the Notes or possession or distribution of

                                            will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will
                                            not impose any obligations on us, the Agent or any dealer.

                                            The Agent has represented and agreed, and each dealer through which we may
                                            offer the Notes has represented and agreed, that it (i) will comply with all

ERISA Matters for Pension Plans
  and Insurance Companies...............    Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan
                                            subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
                                            ("ERISA"), (a "Plan") should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in
                                            the context of the Plan's particular circumstances before authorizing an
                                            investment in the Notes. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary
                                            should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and
                                            diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the
                                            documents and instruments governing the Plan.

                                            In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS
                                            & Co. and Morgan Stanley DW Inc. (formerly Dean Witter Reynolds Inc.)
                                            ("MSDWI"), may each be considered a "party in interest" within the meaning
                                            of ERISA, or a "disqualified person" within the meaning of the Internal
                                            Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), with respect to many Plans,
                                            as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also
                                            "Plans"). Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code
                                            would likely arise, for example, if the Notes are acquired by or with the
                                            assets of a Plan with respect to which MS & Co., MSDWI or any of their
                                            affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the
                                            Notes are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the "prohibited
                                            transaction" rules. A violation of these prohibited transaction rules could
                                            result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or

                                            Section 4975 of the Code for such persons, unless exemptive relief is
                                            available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption.

                                            The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class
                                            exemptions ("PTCEs") that may provide exemptive relief for direct or
                                            indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of
                                            the Notes. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions
                                            determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions
                                            involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain
                                            transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for
                                            certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE
                                            84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified asset
                                            managers).

                                            Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans,
                                            the Notes may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any Plan, any entity
                                            whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of any Plan's
                                            investment in the entity (a "Plan Asset Entity") or any person investing
                                            "plan assets" of any Plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is
                                            eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCE 96-23,
                                            95-60, 91-38, 90-1, or 84-14 or such purchase, holding or disposition is
                                            otherwise not prohibited. Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing
                                            on behalf of a Plan, transferee or holder of the Notes will be deemed to
                                            have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its
                                            purchase and holding of the Notes that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan
                                            Asset Entity and is not purchasing such securities on behalf of or with
                                            "plan assets" of any Plan or with any assets of a governmental or church
                                            plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is
                                            substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section
                                            4975 of the Code or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible
                                            for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding and disposition are not
                                            prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or in the case of a
                                            governmental or church plan, any substantially similar federal, state or
                                            local law).

                                            Under ERISA, assets of a Plan may include assets held in the general account
                                            of an insurance company which has issued an insurance policy to such plan or
                                            assets of an entity in which the Plan has invested. Accordingly, insurance
                                            company general accounts that include assets of a Plan must ensure that one
                                            of the foregoing exemptions is available. Due to the complexity of these
                                            rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in
                                            non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that
                                            fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of
                                            or with "plan assets" of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the
                                            availability of exemptive relief under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or
                                            84-14.

                                            Purchasers of the Notes have exclusive responsibility for ensuring that
                                            their purchase, holding and disposition of the Notes do not violate the
                                            prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any similar regulations
                                            applicable to governmental or church plans, as described above.

United States Federal Income Taxation...    The following summary is based on the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell, our
                                            special tax counsel, and is a general discussion of the principal U.S.
                                            federal income tax consequences to initial investors in the Notes that (i)
                                            purchase the Notes at their issue price and (ii) will hold the Notes as
                                            capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Unless
                                            otherwise specifically indicated, this summary is based on the Code,
                                            administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and currently effective

                                            taxation that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of the

                                            to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

                                            If you are considering purchasing the Notes, you are urged to consult your
                                            own tax advisor with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income
                                            tax laws to your particular situation as well as any tax consequences
                                            arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

                                            U.S. Holders

                                            This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. Holder and is only a
                                            brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership
                                            and disposition of the Notes. As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a
                                            beneficial owner of a Note that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

                                            o   a citizen or resident of the United States;

                                            o   a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United
                                                States or of any political subdivision thereof; or

                                            o   an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income
                                                taxation regardless of its source.

                                            The Notes will be treated as "contingent payment debt instruments" for U.S.
                                            federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders should refer to the discussions
                                            under "United States Federal Taxation--Notes--Notes Linked to Commodity
                                            Prices, Single Securities, Baskets of Securities or Indices" and "United
                                            States Federal Taxation--Backup Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus
                                            supplement for a full description of the U.S. federal income tax and
                                            withholding consequences of ownership and disposition of a contingent
                                            payment debt instrument.

                                            In summary, U.S. Holders will, regardless of their method of accounting for
                                            U.S. federal income tax purposes, be required to accrue original issue
                                            discount ("OID") as interest income on the Notes on a constant yield basis
                                            in each year that they hold the Notes, adjusted upward or downward to
                                            reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount
                                            of any contingent payments on the Notes, as discussed in the accompanying
                                            prospectus supplement. As a result, U.S. Holders may be required to pay
                                            taxes annually on amounts greater than interest actually paid on the Notes.
                                            In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. Holders on the sale or exchange, or
                                            at maturity, of the Notes will generally be treated as ordinary income.

                                            The rate of accrual of OID on the Notes is the yield at which we would issue
                                            a fixed rate noncontingent debt instrument with terms otherwise similar to
                                            those of the Notes or the applicable federal rate, whichever is greater (our
                                            "comparable yield") and is determined at the time of the issuance of the
                                            Notes. We have determined that the "comparable yield" is a rate of %
                                            compounded annually. U.S. Holders may obtain the projected payment schedule
                                            by submitting a written request for such information to us at: Morgan
                                            Stanley, Attn: Director of Tax, 1633 Broadway, New York, NY 10019.

                                            The following table states the amount of OID that will be deemed to have
                                            accrued (without taking into account any adjustments discussed above) with
                                            respect to a Note for each calendar period (assuming a day count convention
                                            of 30 days per month and 360 days per year), based upon our determination of

                                            Non-U.S. Holders

                                            This section applies to you only if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. As used
                                            herein, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Note that
                                            is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

                                            o   a nonresident alien individual;

                                            o   a foreign corporation; or

                                            o   a foreign trust or estate.

                                            Note by us or a paying agent to a Non-U.S. Holder and gain realized by a
                                            Non-U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a Note will
                                            not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that:

                                            o   such Non-U.S. Holder does not own, actually or constructively, 10% or
                                                more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of

                                            o   the certification required by Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the
                                                Code has been provided with respect to the Non-U.S. Holder, as discussed
                                                below.

                                            Certification Requirements. Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code require
                                            that, in order to obtain an exemption from withholding tax in respect of
                                            payments on the Notes that are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
                                            treated as interest, the beneficial owner of a Note certify on Internal

                                            Code. If you are a prospective investor, you are urged to consult your own
                                            tax advisor regarding these certification requirements.

                                            interests or powers), should note that, absent an applicable treaty benefit,
                                            a Note will be treated as U.S. situs property

                                            federal withholding tax (even if the W-8BEN certification requirement
                                            described above were satisfied).

                                            If you are considering purchasing the Notes, you are urged to consult your
                                            own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of
                                            investing in the Notes.

                                            Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information returns may be
                                            filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") in connection with
                                            the payments on the Notes at maturity as well as in connection with the
                                            proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition. A Non-U.S. Holder may
                                            be subject to U.S. backup withholding on such payments or proceeds, unless
                                            the Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification requirements to establish
                                            that it is not a United States person, as described above. Compliance with
                                            the certification requirements of Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code,
                                            described above, will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to
                                            avoid backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from
                                            a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the
                                            Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the
                                            Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is
                                            furnished to the IRS.
