Abstract: 
The trade in Mitrowitz in the period following the signing of the commercial treaty of Passarowitz between Austria and the Ottoman Empire in 1718 was lively. It reflected the characteristics of both domestic and border trade, but Mitrowitz also served as a transit region. Commercial activities were conducted by the Austrian and Ottoman subjects, but the Ottoman merchants outrivaled the Austrians in merchant numbers, tax amount, and total value of the goods. Ottoman merchants also differed from the Austrian subjects in terms of their ethnic and religious identities. The trade of the Austrian subjects was centered in Austria and in indigenous commercial articles, whereas the Ottoman subjects engaged more in border trade and in the trade of conventional articles exchanged between Austria and the Ottoman provinces.
