I just came across a statement from 1999 from Mercer Partners Inc. and
realized that I have some funds at this brockerage house. The firm is
also known as "Investment Bankers". None of their phone numbers work,
neither they replied to my mails.

Here is the information that I have on the firm - 
Mercer Partners Incorporated, 33 Whitehall St New York, NY 10004 
Phone: 212.480.1358,212.425.0085,212.747.0277

The contact number on their D&B report also does not work. 

What are my options??

To answer your question about options generally speaking, you might
want to take a look at the SIPC program. It is a fund by NASD members
to refund monies to investors who have lost money by brokers becoming
insolvent. More information is available at:

Good luck!
