I am familiar with the musical this comes from: "Lea Miserables."
This song, "Lovely Ladies" is sung by prostitutes, who sell sexual favors for money.
In the song, they are trying to convince the sailors to pay for sex with them. They are describing all the different types of sexual services they provide, and the difference in prices.
"Bargain prices up against the wall" in this case means
"It will be less expensive for you/cheaper price for you if we do it standing up against wall (instead of lying down)."
Hope that helps!

Without context it's a little difficult to know, it could mean two things.
1) The phrase "up against the wall" can mean you are taking about something you hate and want them to face a firing squad. "If I were king, all tall people would go up against the wall!" So maybe they are making prices so low that even bargain prices cannot survive.
2) They could simply be describing where all of the bargain priced items are, over there up against the wall.
