Very little. The earliest pens had their graphite core wrapped in leather or string; but already in the mid-sixteenth century the wooden pencil like the one we still have today was invented. And the pure, solid graphite core has over time been replaced by a core of graphite powder mixed with clay.

If the price and quantity change in the same direction is supply or demand changing?
Both supply and demand must be changing, and not necessarily in the same direction. The fact that the quantity of something is changing tells you that the supply has changed. The fact that the value of something is changing in the same direction as its changing supply tells you that the demand must also be changing. For instance; Imagine that you have 1000 pencils to sell to 1000 people for $10 per pencil (everone needs one and only one, so they will pay). If you lost half of your pencils, the supply has decreased and now stands at 500 pencils. The only way for the price of the pencils ($10 dollars each) to decrease (as did the supply/quantity), is for the number of people who want pencils (demand) to also decrease to less than 500 people. If the demand didn't change, the value of the pencils would have to rise (the opposite of what the supply did), since there would be more people who want pencils, than there are pencils to sell them.
Why dont you see the pencils moving in towards each other?
Pencils are not attracted to each other through magnetic or gravitational forces. The pencils may appear stationary because the forces of friction between the table and the pencils prevent them from moving. Additionally, the force created by your hands placing the pencils on the table may also keep them in place.
