Values a rest and rues being disturbed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treasures

'values' is the definition.
('treasure' can be a synonym of 'value')

'a rest and rues being disturbed' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'being disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'rest'+'rues'='arestrues'
'arestrues' anagrammed gives 'TREASURES'.

(Other definitions for treasures that I've seen before include "Values" , "Holds dear, prizes" , "lots of valuables" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
