The default resources can be found (on my system) under /etc/X11/app-defaults. If you look in the files for xterm, you'll see the default resource settings. The resources that you load yourself have to be at least as specific as those, otherwise the defaults override yours. Prefixing with xterm* normally makes your resources specific enough. || So my question is what do you mean by "Xterm", and then how is "xterm" || different? || I can guess it has something to do with the class of applications/ instance || of applications! Play with editres. It's a bit clunky but may give you a feel about what classes and instances mean. By the way, the class for xterm is called XTerm, not Xterm.
