Samuel H. McCrea

__NOTOC__ 
Samuel Harkness McCrea (1826–1899) was an American businessman and politician known for his contributions to the development of Chicago and the surrounding region. 
McCrea was a member of the Chicago Board of Trade and served as its president in 1870.
== Background ==
McCrea was born on August 16, 1826 in Goshen, New York. He died at the age of 64 in Chicago on March 12, 1891. 
McCrea was born on August 16, 1826 in Goshen, New York and moved as boy to Rochester, New York. He spent part of his childhood in Canada before relocating to California in 1849. Initially involved in the lumber-carrying trade in San Francisco, he later transitioned to mining. While moderately successful as a gold-hunter, he eventually moved to New Orleans, where he was offered the position of Chief of Construction for a railroad project through the swamps of Louisiana. After completing his work there, McCrea ventured to Rockford, Illinois, and then to Morrison, where he established himself in the grain and lumber business, enjoying success for seven years.
In 1862, McCrea settled in Chicago and founded the firm S.H. McCrea & Co., becoming a member of the Chicago Board of Trade. Initially focusing on the lumber trade, where he owned seven lumber yards, he eventually shifted his attention to the wheat trade. Although he later withdrew from the lumber business, his firm continued operations under the name W.S. McCrea & Co., with Samuel McCrea remaining a silent partner until his passing in 1899.
McCrea was actively involved in Chicago politics and civic affairs. In 1876, during Monroe Heath's mayoralty, he served as a member of the City Council and head of the Finance Committee. Subsequently, he was elected County Treasurer, holding the office for one term before declining renomination. Additionally, McCrea served as a West Park Commissioner for many years.
In 1866, McCrea represented the Chicago Board of Trade as a delegate at a convention in Boston aimed at organizing the National Board of Trade. He was known for his staunch Republican affiliation and his commitment to advancing the party's interests. McCrea married Coralin J. Johnson, the daughter of D.H. Johnson, and together they had three sons.

In early 2010, it was anticipated that he could end up as CEO of New York-based broker-dealer Pali Capital if the client he was advising - Braver Stern Securities Corp. - pulled off a pending acquisition of Pali. 
== Background ==
In May of 2010, Molinaro said at a hearing held by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission - a congressional panel scrutinizing the financial crisis, that nearing the financial crisis - $50 billion to $60 billion of nightly borrowing in the repo market was "predominantly focused in markets that were the most liquid."
