First of all, make certain that you are altering the merchant’s ‘barter’ gold not merely the amount of gold in his/her inventory. If you are not certain how to do that, go to the click on the ‘AI’ bottom and then select trader service. It will be somewhere on the screen.
Even if you do that correctly, you may not see a change in the merchant’s barter gold in game If you are testing your changes with a current (saved) game, any merchant that you have already visited will not be affected by your mod’s changes (the original reference data will not be updated through a mod). The only way around that problem (other than starting a new game) is to ‘clean’ your save of the merchant reference data using a Morrowind utility like (
http://wrye.ufrealms.net/) Wrye Mash (near bottom of page). I am not certain the extent to which that will affect your reference data with that merchant. The inventory may be reset as well as disposition toward the player. Always back up your saved games before cleaning!
[I am assuming that you have selected your mod to load with the master files and other plug-ins under data files on Morrowind’s load screen.]
